Hi,
So a couple weeks ago I bought some new shells for my marine hermit crabs in my reef tank. They needed new ones and I didn't want them to die because I think they are very pretty. Anyway, I also have a Gold Faced Sleeper Goby who I've had for a least 2 years now. He obviously likes to sift sand around and move around the shells. One thing he does indirectly though is fill up these new shells with sand. Since there is sand in these shells, the false spaghetti worms (Phyllochaetopterus) in my tank like to make little sand tunnels into them and then stay in there until I dig them out for my hermit crabs to switch into when they feel like it. I guess my question is, will hermit crabs tank sand out of a new shell when they want to switch or are they too stupid for that? lol
Also for some reason my hermit crabs love to stay under my birds nest coral. Theres like 20 of them under there right now just chillin
