    so its time to build my CUC and im looking at hermies. i have the option of red-tips, blue-legs and yellow tips for .99$, left hands for 1.99 and electric blue and scarlets for 2.99$. the 12.99 Halloween's im not interested in. unfortunatly there are no scientific names so i cant be more specific. is there any real differences between the types of crabbies or is it pure aesthetics?

    thanks guys,

    Ben

    The difference tends to be the eating habits and aggressiveness towards snails, from what I understand. Blue and red leg dwarf hermits are some of the least aggressive, as far as I know.

    I think i read somewhere that some varieties can pick at corals too,John at reefcleaners would be who i'd ask on that one.
