Yes, they live underwater all the time like saltwater hermits.

They are detrivores/scavengers and I cant find a lot of info on the web, but I do know this. They come from freshwater rejuvenated pools that are flooded with sea water twice daily. These have been living in pure freshwater for 3+ months already and were supposedly collected from a freshwater source. I believe full adult size is similar to blue leg hermits.

I purchased these from a seller on Monster Fish Keepers. They are super rare in the hobby here in the USA.

Aww I love that last close-up of the hermit's face! What member on MFK? I'd love to get a couple of these guys.
Unfortunately they are all sold out right now. But BOTR is the member I got them from. They sell super fast.
