Twizted Bizkit Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've never seen any of my hermits pay any attention to my crocea. It's almost like they're scared of it... Link to comment
coolwaters Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 i wouldnt risk it. i keep my tank crab free... last time i had some they kept knocking down frags and moving my ric... they tend to explore the new things u put in your tank. heard someone lost a clam because a hermit crab punched a hole on the mantle....

rickeba Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I remember reading somewhere about watching out for larger hermits. So anyway, I got the new croceas Wednesday morning and as soon as I put them in the hermit was on them like a fat kid on a cup cake. So I put the crab in my quarantine tank and ended up giving him to a friend of mine who is in desperate need of a better cuc. I will say that even though he was probably just coming to investigate the new editions, I really just don't want to risk it. Thanks for the help Link to comment
coolwaters Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 if the crabs even think the clam is sick i'll end its life. when i added like 10 snails into my 10g before and 4-5 hermit crabs i lost about 4 snails... now in my 5g out of 7 snails and no hermit crabs nothing died... (fingers crossed) Link to comment
