I have had one Halloween hermit in my 65 gallon tank for about 3 weeks. I just got another one yesterday and added him into the tank. I checked on the tank last night before bed and the 2 crabs where together and my oldest hermit was trying to get into the shell of the new hermit.
I separated them, I put one on a tall rock and one on the opposite end of the tank on another rock. woke up this morning to the same thing as last night, the oldest hermit was trying to get into the shell of the new hermit.
I took the new hermit and put him into my quarantine tank for now.
can any one describe or tell me what this behavior means. I’m looking into putting some other empty shells in there.
