nanu-nanu Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 My sister gave me like, 8 of these. Calcinus tibicen, the Orangeclaw Hermit Crab, Family Diogenidae. Tropical West Atlantic. Orange antennae and eyestalks. Eye tips white, eyes with black pupils. Unequal size claws. 1/2 to 1". Here's a stock photo. Here's a pic of one of mine. The biggest one so I could get decent photos. Anyone know the care of these? Reef safe? What do they eat I searched and didnt find any info at all! Link to comment

seahorsedreams Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 They're omnivores.... all hermits are. Some have a stronger tendancy towards to meat while others lean more to the green. But being onmivores they eat both meat and potatoes. Link to comment
