Bumblebee Hermit?

0utworld · Nov 4, 2020

Hi all,

One of the bumblebee snails I bought turned out to be a hermit. Can anyone help ID this please?

I've avoided hermits my whole life because of their notoriety. Is this one reef safe?

Thanks in advance!

It look amazing the shell stripes with the hermit leg stripes, but can't tell the SP

That's awesome. maybe that species targets bumble bee snails for their shells?

I see you're from Toronto too, if you don't want him, i can take him off your hands.

Thanks guys, I'm having trouble IDing as well. Couldn't find anything similar on Google. Definitely cool though, hope they're reef safe.

For sure, I'll keep you updated. If this guy is reef safe, I might give him a try,

I know this is old but I see nobody ever answered the question haha I got a few of these in a assorted hermit pack and I love them they look amazing and do good in my tank. Well I had 3 one died in shipping and then one disappeared. Never found the shell or anything so think it might have gotta stick inside of a rock or something somewhere. Well either way did you ever figure out what kind of hermit it is?
