New crab

Introducing our new blue-legged hermit crab! In my series on our new marine aquarium not a fish this time, but an invertebrate!

He obviously got his name from his blue stripy legs. This type of crab lives in abandoned snail shells. If it doesn't find an abandoned one it may attack and eat the snail, then use the shell for its home. The crab sifts through the sand looking for food.
