lily
Hello! I have 2 blue legs in my 10 gallon, and they seem to have taken a liking to perching in my kenya tree coral. The coral seems a little annoyed but doesn't look like it is dying (yet). I can't tell, but it looks like they are nibbling on it a little. I feed my fish ever other day, and give my hitchhiker brittle star (soon to be removed and given to the LFS) a piece of silverside 2ish times a week. I only have 1 other nassarius snail, 1 cerith, 1 peppermint shrimp, the cute half shelled snail hitchhikers (can't remember names at the moment), and the normal small sand stars and bristle worms. Has anyone else had this happen? What can I do to prevent it? I tried knocking the hermits off, but this just upset my coral and the hermits come back.

hermits besides red legs and scarlets are evil
