This is a great Zebra Reef Hermit Crab who showed up healthy and happy. He was shy at first in my quarantine tank but after moving him over to the main tank he has been quite the showman.

An awesome little beautiful Zebra Reef Hermit Crab who peacefully explores my large reef tank's caves. Almost always visible and active.
