Just in Time for Halloween: The Halloween Hermit

Scientific Name: Ciliopagurus strigatus
Diet: Omnivore/Scavenger, may even eat Cyanobacteria
Caution: Can kill small inverts and fish, other than that, pretty reef-safe
Comes from Hawaii/Indo Pacific


This hermit is very unique in coloration with bright orange legs with white and black stripes. It is one of the more larger hermits and make sure to keep extra shells for it to move into.
