Hermit crabs??

[johnny4491]

How many can I add in my 6 gallon nano tank??

 

[Rattooth]

I think 6 to 12.
No right or wrong answer.
Size varies a lot.

 

[NanaReefer]

One would be plenty. Look to the Scarlet Hermits, nicer of all the hermits [emoji56]

No way do you want 6-12 hermits inna a 6g tank. First of all they'd starve to death. Then most likely they'll kill each other off along with any snails you may have.

^ I agree. You can always add more if you feel the need.

1-2 scarlets would do nicely. Blue legs are known to be spawns of satan and kill off their friends

Scarlets are awesome!

I've been told Halloween hermits are not reef safe. Not sure whether they attack coral, fish, or both, but I do know that when I help out at the LFS and we get them in a shipment, they always go in a separate predator tank, away from the other fish, corals, and inverts. Because of this, I have yet to experiment with them personally.

Yes, think it's pretty much the biggest saltwater site in the world, anything your LFS doesn't have, liveaquaria probably is.

I would advise you to get a few dwarf zebra hermit crabs.they don't grow very much but do change shells so make sure you have some empty ones.i have had ones kill each other because they didn't have empty shells

 

[e-man5252]

Get probably two dwarf zebra hermit crabs and maybe two other ones that stay pretty small.
