zoothefreak Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hello guys i need to check on this weird hermit crab that came as a hitchhiker with my LR... it keeps trying to get out of its shell... what type is it, common name, and is it a good keep as cleanup crew or a coral eating critter??? sorry for the bad pics my digi cam is really old and only 2.0MP its got orange vertical stripes along not across its legs if that helps...

zoothefreak Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 URRKKK...!!! I think this critter is eating my macro algae... could someone please help ID it... dunno whether to keep it or release it at a nearby coast... Link to comment
flyboy01 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Looks like a zebra, I have had one for 6 months, they get big and clumsy, but dont do any harm that I can tell. Link to comment
zoothefreak Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 okays today was the last straw... all my macroalgae has been munched on and the rest uprooted and one of my mushrooms got pierced and shrunk when the big lug tried to climb onto the LR... guess its bye bye hermie... gonna release it at the coast or try to make a dealer take it...

flyboy01 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 PLEASE DONT RELEASE IT! You dont know where it came from, it could do damage to local ecology. Give it away, or take it to a dealer. Link to comment
zoothefreak Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yeah don't worry, gave it to a fren yesterday... he's got a 50 Gal and no macro algae to worry about... Link to comment
