drg0nzo1 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I have a nano cube with a Ocellaris Clown, a Green Clow Goby, a anemone crab, 2 (well now just 1) little blue legged hermits, a hatian pink tip anemone, and a turbo snail. Also some tree corals and polyps. Well my question is...someone ripped one of my hermits out of his shell....any ideas on what it could have been. From what i've read the goby and the clown are compatible with these guys. Has anyone else had a similar experiance? Any help would be appreciated! thanks! Link to comment
Neon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 it could of just molted if not the other hermit is culprit Link to comment
drg0nzo1 Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 Yeah....he was ripped out of his shell...so im guessing it was the other hermit. Thanks. Could this be avoided if i got a different type of hermit crab? or is the risk the same? Link to comment
Neon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 theres always a risk with hermits Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 the molts look like the crab got pulled out. Is there a lobster tail looking thing at the butt end, or white stuff? Did you check the shell completely? Blue legs are mean anyway....stick with scarlets. Link to comment
flickj79 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 something ripped mines legs off when i had the 2 damsels in my tank and it was before i even added another hermit, the poor lil guy hobbles around with 2 claws but he is still alive Link to comment
ImAnanoReefer Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 did you have other shells for them to change into? shell comptetion coud have caused it. Link to comment
el pez Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 yeah ive had blue legs kill each other before for shells. sometimes they just wanna try new shells on, maybe they work, maybe they dont. Link to comment
