**Care Level & Requirements**

- **Water Parameters:** Prefers a stable environment with a temperature range of 72-78°F, pH between 8.1-8.4, and specific gravity of 1.020-1.025.
- **Tank Size:** Minimum of 75 gallons. As the Humu Humu Trigger can grow up to 10 inches, a spacious tank is essential to accommodate its active lifestyle.
- **Feeding:** Omnivorous; enjoys a varied diet including marine-based meaty foods like shrimp, squid, and clams, supplemented with high-quality pellet or flake food.

**Reef Tank Compatibility**

The Humu Humu Trigger is semi-aggressive and generally best suited for fish-only with live rock (FOWLR) setups. While it may coexist with other robust fish species, it’s important to be cautious of its compatibility in a reef tank. The trigger's curious nature may lead it to nip at invertebrates and small, delicate reef inhabitants.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
