Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial. The aquarium water should have the appropriate temperature, typically ranging from 24-28°C (75-82°F), and the correct salinity level, usually between 1.023 and 1.025. Effective water filtration and regular water changes are essential.

In the aquarium, you can feed them various foods such as frozen shrimp, marine algae, fish flakes, and sinking pellets. It's important to provide a diverse source of food to ensure a varied diet.
Raising Calcinus spp hermit crabs in marine aquariums is popular due to their usefulness in maintaining cleanliness in the aquarium. It's important to provide them with appropriate environmental conditions and various shells for habitation to allow for the free exchange of shells as they grow.
