Anemone Girdles

General information

They are approximately 5 to 6 inches in height.

Breeding & spawning

These species are either have single reproductive organs of each sex (gonochoric) or having reproductive organs of each sexes present in a single species.

The mature gametes of an individual are discharged into the gastric activity of the coelenterate, and is then being spawned throught its mouth.

These species are native in Greece, Italy (Italy mainland), and Spain (Spain mainland), and are also endemic to the Mediterranean seas.

Most invertebrates do not like large swings in water parameters and the Blue-Legged Hermit Crab is not an exception, so even though most hobbyists do not acclimate their cleaner crews it is suggested to do so. If you have a sump, float your cleaner crew in an area with low light to allow them to temperature acclimate first which should take about 15-20 min. Then it is best to slowly drip acclimate them to allow them to adjust to your water conditions.
