There is actually a crustacean market out there just like the arachnid market. It seems the crustacean hobbyist will be thrilled a new species is out there now.

I don't have any crabs myself, and yet I'm very thrilled. Any invertebrates in general I love to hear about.

These guys are super cute though! Meet the strawberry claw hermit crab.
