Coenobita Brevimanus is one of the largest species of hermit crab in the hobby, boasting a has a robust purple exoskeleton, but it’s their eyes that really catch your attention—perched on long stalks, they move about curiously, surveying their surroundings. These hermit crabs are not ones to just sit around. They love to explore their surroundings, whether it’s climbing decor, digging through substrate, or interacting with other tankmates. Despite their small size, Coenobita Brevimanus are fearsome little critters, especially when they raise their larger claw (from which they get their name, “Brevimanus” meaning “short hand”) as if they’re the guardians of their tiny territory. These are nocturnal animals that come to life at night, exploring and adventuring around their habitats. These hermit crabs are highly social animals and must be kept in groups of at least 3 members to ensure they do not become depressed therefore we are selling them as a group of 3.

We try to make it as easy as possible to help any unwell critters, and ensure you can get your money back. There are a couple of steps to go through before a refund can be issued.
If you’ve received an unwell animal in the mail:
1. If it is safe to do so, (your pet is not medically significant or harmful) please remove the animal from its transport container, ideally onto your hand. We ask this as invertebrates, particularly insects, are experts at ‘playing dead’.
2. To provide you with the best advice going forward and to confirm the condition of your pet, we kindly request a short video of the animal in question before your refund can be processed. This can be uploaded on our ‘live guarantee refunds form’, or you can email it straight to us.
3. We typically respond within 24 hours, but please allow 1-3 working days for a response. Once it’s confirmed that you are eligible for a refund, we’ll get process the credit to your account.
We’ll need this information to reach us within 7 days after you’ve received your pet. We cannot provide any live guarantee to animals that have been refused, returned, or not collected.
