Yes lol. I have hermits too. Let me edit it, the only exception is porcelain crabs and little hermits.
I second that!
Me neither! My new arrow crab hunts them and he is doing a very good job of eating them!
I love arrow crabs. Its satisfying to watch them hunt and then pull all the bristles off them and eat them! Nasty little critters.
Lol Is that a BRS beer glass? Now that beer is inexplicably $249.99I personally don't have any problem with hermits crabs in my Tank.
I got Blue, Zebras, Red legs hermit crabs, Scarlet hermits. I could said that it took me several restocking until they got a nice balanced population without any predatory behavior for shells, so far so good. At the beginning as they grow they will seek for a replacement shell. I would say that one of them kill a tiger conch obviously in the need for a bigger "RV"... buajajajaja!
But no brainer there, I replaced the conch and life keeps going as normal (all the empty shells stays in the tank, for the next hermit in need) . Sometimes I see them on my corals and gorgonias like picking, but when I pay a closer look they are actually doing their job, cleaning up the area of algae, that the corals and their polyps reside for a while... "Absolutely" . But is a natural response.
For others crabs , I don't have any because, I don't need them at this point in time to balance the ecosystem biodiversity. About Snail , I got a healthy and varied stock of them, from Limpets to Conch and everything in between. Some how with time and patience all of them got a well balanced population, that I haven't restock in few years. Some of them survive the infamous Tank Crash and neglected period, but that's a story for another day.
