It’s not often a new species of land hermit crab is announced so this is a pretty big day for us.  Until now the purple land hermit crabs found in Borneo were considered to be C. purpureus AKA Blueberries. This new research document confirms this is false and that the hermit crabs found in Borneo are actually Coenobita lila (for lilac).

The Crabstreet Journal is so proud to announce the hermit crab species poster. This poster was inspired by member Pam Liberatore. We have illustrated the most common species of Coenobita based on actual photos. While not all species are included, this is due to lack of information on certain species. The poster is 18 X 24 inches and can be purchased via our Store Envy storefront. It is offered in matte and lustre finishes, framed and unframed. The copy you receive will not be watermarked as seen here.Read More →
