There’s the giant hermit we were asking for! So awesome! How large of a tank and what tank mates?
Right now he’s in a 20 gallon with a couple of Talbots. Got him in January... he grew fast!

And they can get big enough to fill large queen conch shells correct?
Seems like it! I have 5 different shells for him to change into and he has actually broke a leg to get back into his original shell!! Attached pic of Tamatoa in his original shell in January.

Well I finally got over to my LFS and they had a pom pom in stock so I grabbed it! Awesome critter and after all the reading I’ve done I’ve been surprised by how often I see it out and about! It only has 1 claw and one nem at moment but I’m confident it will get back to two of each. Its also keeping my shrimp in line so extra perk.

On my way put my girlfriend saw a small porcelain crab om some sort fanning and fell in love so I’m up two crabs making for a total of four. No idea what kind of porcelain he is (not the nem variety but similar colours). Store owner told me he came in on some SPS a while back. Both really cool editions!

Had no idea my emerald crab was such a determined hunter. No clue how he got his way up the glass to grab onto the snail but they are currently locked in a battle for endurance. Who is going to let go first?
