Hey there,
So I recently added a pretty cool little Halloween hermit to my 40 gallon. My first crabs. It is a murder, but that’s beside the point. Unless your a trochus snail.
So, it seems to have abandoned its shell, to take up residence under a coral frag plug that is not attached to my rock work.
I’m not terribly worried about the coral being harmed. I was wondering if I should move the frag and see if he goes back to his shell? Would exposing it to the fish in the tank be a death sentence? I can’t actually tell how big it is.
Or should I assume the shell was abandoned because it outgrew it and swap the shell with a larger one and see if it moves in? The shell is sitting right next to it currently.
Not exactly an emergency, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
