    Never seen it just on an episode of fish tank kings. My daughter has two hermit crabs and I was thinking of buying one for the larger one she has.

    I might buy one just to check it out. They aint cheap, at $15 each, and I am really interested in how long it will last before it's covered in dirt, algae, etc.

    Get one and post a picture! That would be really neat to see. I wonder if the different colored hermits have different colored bodies?
