Very hard to keep alive, its "shell" will die off and the crab dose not fair well without it. To bad since they are very cool looking

He is really cool looking and I like him very much.

It was about $20-30 at my lfs. He came to my tank about a month ago, so far it is not so difficult to keep for me. He tend to stay one spot and hardly move around.

You can see him at the corner in my tank.

Other crabs or fish do not disturb him. I am feeding his shell using MarineSnow twice a day and looks OK. Crab eats leftover and argae as normal hermit crab.

 

One point: I had to remove all of the normal shells from tank those he can reach and his size because looks he wants to abandon his nice shell and move in to normal shell. Actually, he did twice.

 

Something on the branch on the left is a part of brine shrimp :)
