Outofstock Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Not stacking but hanging still count? This was in a large critter carrier that was housing a young Sepia Badensis in my display for a bit. Still unsure how the hermit made it to the top of the carrier Link to comment
Outofstock Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My pistol shrimp decided to get on the grab stacking. Well he prefers crab rearranging. Wish the Halloween hermit would stop hiding by the pistol/goby hole. I keep finding him all over the sand like this. Usually not around rock work, pistol just pushes him out into the open away from his burrow. Link to comment

I'm always amazed how well they can climb up things. I often see my hermits climbing up the corners of my aquarium, somehow holding on to the tiny bit of silicone. I'm not sure what they're thinking though. They just get to the top and then fall down to the bottom. lol My pistol shrimp decided to get on the grab stacking. Well he prefers crab rearranging.

Thanks Outo! Link to comment

Felicia Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 One small hermit stacked on top of my Halloween Hermit.

Tamberav Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 lol... nice thread! Unfortunately I only have 2 hermits but my snails make 3 stacks fairly often. I'll remember to snap a pic next time! Link to comment

Those watchman gobies are always like, "me! me! pay attention to ME!" lol... nice thread! Unfortunately I only have 2 hermits but my snails make 3 stacks fairly often. I'll remember to snap a pic next time!Thanks Tamberav! Please do. Sounds like you have a possibility for a five-stacker there. lol. Link to comment
Felicia Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's an official Crabstackin'! Haha! Those watchman gobies are always like, "me! me! pay attention to ME!" My YWG used to be super shy and I rarely saw him, but since the tank redo he's always out front and center. He's gotten really good at begging for food when I'm near the tank. Link to comment

BulkRate Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not as many levels as some, but points perhaps for extreme-ness? Hermits perched on filter, horizontally! Joking aside... these things have a heck of a grip once their claws are set and they put some effort into not being moved. Link to comment

Hermits perched on filter, horizontally! hermitstack.jpg Lol! Awesome! Joking aside... these things have a heck of a grip once their claws are set and they put some effort into not being moved.Seriously, you can't pull them off a rock or coral if they don't want to leave it. You'd pull the shell off of them before they'd let go. I found the best way to remove a crab is to use a pipette and sharply blow at them. It startles them enough to let go and then you can quickly nab them. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 LOL! Crab-chin stack. Nice one atrox. Thanks! Link to comment
seanoli Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 My hangers: They never make it all the way. If they were smart, they'd hitch a ride on one of those damned nerites. Link to comment

Fun! My crabs used to do that. It's amazing that they can attach to such a small amount of silicone and climb up. That big one looks like a good sized hermit. Link to comment
seanoli Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just before cleaning I caught my urchin taking the duncan for a ride. Seemed appropriate for this thread. Link to comment

The Aquarist Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I figured this would be the best place to post this... I found my crab with an aggregating anemone stuck to his face!!! Don't worry, I pulled it off afterwards. Link to comment
