they aren't the hermits.. I work at my LFS, and I can't decide where to keep them lol! I'm also curious, cause I kind of like them!

Mictyris longicarpus. They're an inter-tidal species and don't do well long-term in a submerged environment (aquarium).

does this mean they need a place where they can come out of water? because we currently have a set up for fiddlers without any fiddlers in a coral tank.
