Zebra Hermit Crab (Calcinus laevimanus)

Zebra Hermit Crab

The Zebra Hermit Crab (Calcinus laevimanus) is a great herbivore for any aquarium. It eats various forms of algae and detritus, but it will attack snails and take their shells. This behavior is quite common among hermit crabs, and they get a pretty bad rap for it.
