Clibinarius digueti: No matter how you look at it, this is the best reef hermit for the money. From the Sea of Cortez, this hardy and very active hermit truly is an algae grazing hermit. It has a dark scarlet body with blue spotted red tipped legs. Also known as the Reef Janitor or Mexican red leg. Average length 1.00". These guys will eat diatom, hair, detritus, and **EAT** red slime. These guys are a little more aggressive hermit then scarlets, but not as bad as the blue legs. Recommend 1 per 2 gallons, up to 1 to 1 for major algae problems.

These guys are the best hermits I have found. They are great at eating all types of algae and don't seem to be too aggresive. Recomended!

Arrived very healthy and started grazing as soon as they left the shipping bag. Very energetic. I would guess about 4 times more movement than my blue legged hermits. Great!
