I woke up yesterday morning and did my tank check as usual. I looked at my acans and I see 2 little blue stick looking things coming out of the mouth. I look closer and it was hermit crab legs!!! I have never seen an acan eat a hermit crab before.

Umm where is the shell? I think maybe he lost a legg it was floating and it landed near some feeders. i dont think hermits leave there shell and i dont think a acan could eat a shell lol.

Are you sure it wasn't a hermit crab molted shell? It would be really hard for a Acan to get a live one.

I think it was either the molt or the crab from a molt process gone wrong. or ive seen this before, were a crab is trying to change into a bigger shell and the current sweeps him away right into my frog spawn, and tadaa happy frog spawn
