Calcinus Laevimanus (Hermit Crab)

Hermit crabs such as the Calcinus Laevimanus are very interesting animals and good cleaners, which is why they are often part of the cleanup crew that enters the aquarium first.

The animals themselves only grow to about 2 cm, but because they have no protection themselves, they look for a snail shell to live in. As the animal grows, it will always look for a larger house, which must also be present in the aquarium. They often also take shells from snails, such as the Turbo Fluctuose, by pulling the snail out of the shell.
