Im deciding on which ones to get red legged or blue legged hermit crabs? I've heard that red ones are more peaceful but also heard that red ones attack anemones. Help please. thanks
I have both in my tank, I havnt noticed either one being really aggressive. However that being said,,, I have found a few carcasses in the tank. Not sure if they molt and that is what I am seeing, but I will see it any way.
I also have a Purple Condylictus that seems to be pretty uneffected. I have never seen either hermit any where the Condy.
I have both also and mine arent aggressive at all. They do molt I found the same thing around my tank and thought they died but nope they all showed up again. It is wierd.
I also have both but have seen the blues fight each other so I would say they are a little more aggressive. Never had a problem with them and anemones though.
My understanding is that
Scarlet crabs do grow quite a bit larger, but for me have been the longest survivors.
Mexican red crabs stay small.
Most of the common blue crabs stay small, although I have an Electric Blue that is large.
