Keeping as Pet

When algae levels are insufficient, many aquarists provide dried seaweed to feed hungry Electric Orange Hermit Crabs. Meaty meals like mysis prawns are advantageous to the Electric Orange Hermit Crab as well. Additionally, provide a mix of empty and bigger shells to account for molting and growth. Despite being tough, the Electric Orange Hermit Crab cannot handle copper-based treatments or changing water conditions.

Consumes a lot of the algae, fish food that hasn’t been consumed, and other debris in your aquarium.
