Janitorial staff

Just another couple of hermit portraits ...

Hard at work, cleaning the fuzz off barnacles.

Hairy hermit, Pagurus hirsutiusculus. He's lost one pincer, but he still keeps busy.

  1. Do you provide extra shells for the hermits to choose from? The first one is quite unique. - Margy

  2. I keep a small collection of leftover shells and make sure there are always a few clean ones in the tank for shell changes. The spotted orange one is an import; I bought it in a pet store, thinking the hermits might like it. It's from a freshwater snail from Africa.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
