Hi.

I have a very small BTA in my tank, I've just got it.

It looks very awful and damaged since the last 2 days.

I'm assuming that it has been damaged by an hermit crab that was constantly playing around.

Could hermit crabs be harmful to BTA ?

I just want to remove all my hermit crab from the tank now, because my BTA is very small and I want to protect it.

What could I do ?
 
Hello Kayah, If You have a sump exile the suspect hermit there.
 
What kind of hermit is it? Hermits will almost never bother an anemone. Unless it was already dying or dead. Crabs get an undeserved bad rap in this hobby.
 

WHAT KIND OF SUBSTRATE ARE YOU RUNNING ON YOUR TANK?
