Calcinus californiensis – California Hermit Crab
Calcinus californiensis, or California Hermit Crab, is a useful and decorative crustacean for any reef aquarium. It is recognized by its reddish body with black legs and its spiraled shell about 2 to 2.5 cm. Native to the Pacific coast of North America and Mexico, it lives in rocky areas and is mostly active at night.
An Effective Nocturnal Cleaner
Calcinus californiensis is an opportunistic omnivore: it feeds on both microalgae and leftover food not consumed by fish. Thanks to its constant activity on the ground and on rocks, it actively contributes to limiting organic waste and reducing unwanted algae.
A Peaceful and Self-Sufficient Hermit Crab
This crustacean poses no danger to fish, invertebrates, or corals. It is perfectly compatible with other members of the reef cleaning crew. However, it is important to provide it with several empty shells of equivalent sizes in the aquarium, as it regularly changes shelters as it grows.
Maintenance Conditions
- Minimum recommended volume: 30 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 26°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Behavior: nocturnal, peaceful, and active
- Ensure: spare empty shells
Feeding
- Natural algae present in the tank
- Leftover food (pellets, flakes)
- Biofilm, detritus, and benthic microfauna
Calcinus californiensis feeds autonomously and does not require specific feeding if the tank is well balanced.
Why Choose Calcinus californiensis?
- Excellent natural cleaner, active at night
- Effective algae eater and detritivore
- Robust, easy to acclimate
- Perfect for nano or large reef tanks
- Peaceful behavior and interesting to observe
Calcinus californiensis is a versatile hermit crab that perfectly fulfills its role as a biological cleaner. Simple to maintain, effective, and visually unique, it is a discreet yet essential asset in any marine aquarium.

Superbe Benard-lhermite, très actif dans le bassin
By Mickael b. the 04/14/2021
Hyperactif
Animal de bonne taille, coquille splendide et travailleur +++. Un peu trop tendance à grimper sur les coraux mais à priori sans faire de mal. On le voit en permanence.
By Thomas J. the 03/10/2021
Assez terrifiant lorsque on le regarde de près.. mais il fournit un bon travail dans mon bac.
