My 90g is coming along and I am overdue to post an update but was wondering if anyone has any clue where I can find this hermit crab. I would like to add 3 to my tank as they would be perfect for the biotope I am creating.

Here is a picture from webwetmedia:
Calcinus tibicen, the Orangeclaw Hermit Crab, Family Diogenidae. Tropical West Atlantic. Orange antennae and eyestalks. Eye tips white, eyes with black pupils. Unequal size claws. 1/2 to 1".

I have been looking all over and can not find anyhting like them, hoping some one else has run across them.

Thanks
Chris
