A little while back I was purchasing some snails at the WF Petco. I got a few different kinds and 5 were supposed to be cerith.
I did not look at them until I got home. I got 4 cerith and a small turbo snail.
Yesterday I attempted to buy 5 Bumble Bee snails. I looked at them yep 5 Bumble bee snail shells.
After acclimation I put them in the quarantine tank a short while later I noticed one of them had legs.
It appears to be a Zebra Hermit crab.
Very small and hard to tell exactly but I think that is what it is.
Wonder what I would have gotten if I had tried to get 10 of them. They had a bunch of them.
Maybe I would have gotten some leather coral and the carpet anemone they had.
I guess I will have too look very closely from now on. If they did not look close enough to tell one was a crab I could have gotten 5 empty shells.
How is everyone doing?
I got a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone 3 moths ago. It is doing well.
