What Benefits do Hermit Crabs Provide?
Hermit crabs make an excellent addition to any saltwater clean up crew because they are natural scavengers. This means that they will sift through the substrate in your tank, feeding on bits of detritus that they find along the way. Things like uneaten fish food, algae, and decaying organic matter all become food for your hermit crabs.

They work even harder than algae-eating species of fish and because they feed on leftovers you don’t have to worry about too much supplemental feeding. They will be just fine. As your hermit crabs dig around in your tank, they will also keep your substrate aerated which can be helpful for the beneficial bacteria living in your tank substrate.
Tips for Keeping Hermit Crabs at Home
Keeping hermit crabs in the marine tank is fairly easy because they have similar tank requirements to most saltwater fish species and they are generally hardy in regard to minor changes in tank parameters. The ideal pH range for hermit crabs is between 8.0 and 8.4 and they prefer a specific gravity between 1.021 and 1.026 with undetectable ammonia and nitrite levels with nitrate levels below 10 ppm. Your crab will also prefer a kH between 150 and 215 ppm.
Turbo Snail
The Turbo Snail is extremely popular among reef hobbyists, since it quickly eliminates large amounts of nuisance algae. It is particularly fond of hair algae and will consume mass quantities of it and other algae off your live rock and aquarium glass.
An excellent member of your aquarium's cleanup crew, the Turbo Snail thrives in crevices and holes in natural reefs. In the home aquarium, the Turbo Snail needs ample hiding places and large spaces to graze. Some reef aquarists prefer to keep the Turbo Snail in aquariums with well-secured rockwork since this active herbivore is known to bulldoze loose rocks in search of food.
The peaceful Turbo Snail should not be kept with aggressive tankmates that can quickly overcome this slow-moving creature. If algae levels are insufficient, supplement the diet of the Turbo Snail with dried seaweed. Also, adequate calcium levels are required to help this member of the Turbinidae family build its protective shell. Like other invertebrates, the Turbo Snails is very sensitive to copper-based medications and high nitrate levels. To acclimate the Turbo Snail, employ the drip-acclimation method since it is intolerant of even the smallest fluctuations in water parameters.
