Giannis86 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hey folks, One of my hermits decided to change shell yesterday, on a very easy to document spot. I quickly grabbed a camera and took a video of it. Thought i would share it with you Although I have seen pictures of them outside their shell before, i gotta say they look even more hideous from close by . Link to comment
picoD Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Very cool! Thanks for posting! My sister told me they were pretty gross without their shells and I have been waiting to witness this. My scarlet reef was was checking out some shells the other night, but I guess he was just browsing danielle oh, and btw, I liked the music you chose Link to comment

Bio-Reef Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Last night my hermit swapped his shell, walked around and swapped back to his old one. lol Link to comment
basser1 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Enjoyed the vid! Occassionally I will put in some shells for my bluespot jawfish to use. But as soon as I put the shells in, the hermits all gather around them to check them out! It's a funny sight to watch them fight over the best ones! Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 that blue legged, my friend, looks like it has eggs. their bodies arent usually green and fuzzy looking Link to comment
rollei Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Just a heads up, skip to 2:35 to see the very quick swap. Link to comment
OCtrackiepacsg1 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Neat, I think the back end of my scarlet is more clear. How often do they change shells? Link to comment
Giannis86 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 that blue legged, my friend, looks like it has eggs. their bodies arent usually green and fuzzy looking honestly i dont remember if it was green when watching it. I think it was more or less yellow/gold in color but i could be wrong. Could also be that the camera didnt capture the color properly. Neat, I think the back end of my scarlet is more clear. How often do they change shells? Honestly i think whenever they feel like it lol Link to comment
