Not huge but about the same size as a large red scarlet hermit crab.

For some perspective, see this picture of a Safeway macaroni container with 3 electric blues in it.

Normally yes, but I had taken them out of my tank and brought them to my office where it won't harm my clams (though too late for that). I can bring it home for you though. I'm PM'ing you now.

Seth, I heard these were selling locally for a cheaper price now so once I confirm that, I'll change the price for you.

For anyone who is iterested in the Electric blue Knee hermits.

Hidden Reef Aquatics (Formerly Animal House) in Abbotsford.

Has has those crabs many times. We sell them for $8 and about that size.

100% Reef safe and they look so cool. Plus they always seems to be arond the front of the tank.

I dont beleive we have any at the moment but there is an invert order comming in this week so perhap we may have more.

For anyone who is interested ill post if we get some.

Originally, I got them at Big Al's for $9.99. They seemed to be rare in stores at that time (It was the first time I've seen them as I was a new reefer.). I hadn't seen any since then. But they might be less rare in stores now?

Samw	10-31-2003 02:53 AM

OK, I have 3 of these now for immediate pick up.

$5 each or 3 for $12.

These are the most destructive of all of my hermit crabs. Eats clams, kills snails. Doesn't kill cowries though.
