Big hermit crab.

What do big hermit crabs eat? I just got a really big one. I am not sure if it is okay to put him in my tank. How big do they get?

Anything they want!

Careful... BIG hermit crabs can eat SMALL fish.

Another question I found this thing it kind of looks like a lobster but it is really small. It looks like it has one large claw. does this sound like any thing ya'll know of? Is it safe to put it in the tank?

could be a pistol shrimp. do you ever hear a snapping noise?

Sounds like a pistol....what I think Big D meant was could be a Mantis.

Pistol = fun
Mantis = bloody thirsty killing machine

What color is it? red and white = pistol shrimp... Browns and blacks = mantis

No trips to Florida but the guy I got the stuff from did tell me that some of the stuff he did pick up when he used to go diving. The shrimp looks kind of clear with a bluish color on its tail. I will try to get pics a little later to day.

That really sounds like a pistol shrimp... They have 1 large claw and if you sometime hear a popping noise that's what you have... Get a yellow headed Goby they will live together.. it's kind of cool...
