Giant Hermit Crabs are the largest hermit crab species found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, and they are one of the prettiest, with their lovely red coloring (they also have eyelashes!)

We like to add a small type of clam to the tank, burying it in the sand so it can cruise around, digging away, enriching its stay by enforcing a natural behavior. #smithsoniansms
