I still have my pair on Hawaiian Strawberry (Neoliomera pubescens) in my mixed reef, they have never bothered the corals.

The crab has since disappeared after releasing it into the tank. I doubt I'll ever catch a glimpse of it easily. What a pity as it has a really nice colour.

Hi Bro, from my experience, they are nocturna and cryptic thus, try looking out for them after lights off.

Market price for Neoliomera pubescens are never below $25 (if it's missing a claw,etc), considering their price in USD. They are from Hawaiin waters, nowhere else. It is possible the crab might be a similar looking indo-pacific species or if it is the real mccoy then you've got a steal.

Mine had some spots on the carapace.

Hi fuel, the LFS told me its from US, and said they don't come in often. After comparing the pics, mine doesn't have any spots.

Do you know the name of the indo pacific species?

If I am not wrong, Liomera sp and Aniculus maximus are often called Stawberry crab as well.

I did a search on Aniculus maximus and it displayed strawberry hermits. Liomera sp does look like strawberry crab.

Unfortunately I've never seen my strawberry crab ever since I released it into my tank. I only have 2 pictures of it.

Could it be Neoliomera insularis?
