Default west coast hermit crabs
white leg hermit crabs direct from the pacific.

does anyone know if these are coral safe? I have taken them directly from the ocean in the past and aclimated them to warm water and they lived for a very long time, ended up taking alot of them back to the ocean when I moved. But now that I have a few corals I am wondering if these are reef safe. It is legal to take ten a day and seems like it could be usefull.

If anyone has or knows anything more about the pacific hermit crabs I would appreciate it.

they sell the white leg hermit crabs on reefscavengers.com. On that site they say they are reef safe. I'm interested to see if anyone has a bad experience with them since i was planning on buying them.

I bought some from reefscavengers.I've had them in my reef tank for 4months or so with no problems.I also have some red leg hermits wich do a much better clean up job.
