Zeke Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Please help on ID'ing these hermits. Will they drown if they're land hermits? Thanks. Link to comment

Zeke Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Anybody? Is this even a hermit I'm holding? LOL. It doesnt have red or blue legs, so... Link to comment
Zeke Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 I found a bunch of them on a beach shore munching on coconuts. BTW, nice avatar! Link to comment
MGXsport Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 probably above water hermit Link to comment
Zeke Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 So will they drown if they are indeed land hermits? Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yes, I'd probably return them back to where you found them. Link to comment
deviousrhesus Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 It looks like hermits we have in my area. I find them out in the surf, so I assume they can live underwater. I wish I was in town, i'd go to the beach and grab one to compare to yours :-< Anyway, i'd let him go until you can get a definite. Don't wanna kill the poor thing! Link to comment
deviousrhesus Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 My fiancee says that it is an aquatic crab, but she doesn't know the name. Link to comment
Zeke Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks deviousrhesus. I hope you're correct. Does coralline growth or algae growth on the shell an indication of something? Just a thought. BTW, this hobby is going great so far, and i have spent $0.00 to date (free LR, LS, NSW, and now hermits). Link to comment
