my huge hermit crab is eating a bristle warm, and here should I start to worry? it climbs on top of everything it's too big, and I always find my frownspan upside down, could he damage it with his little legs? when I turn it over I find pieces flying away every time and so I started to doubt whether the hermit crab is eating it or damaging it by walking over it

How big is the hermit?

If a hermit is able to knock down a frogspawn coral, then secure the coral, you can glue it down so it doesn't fall. Inverts will always climb on corals, the corals don't mind it.

I can't secure the coral, it is on the sand. The hermit is about 6-7 cm with the shell, what is worrying me is that when the frogspawn fall down and I try to put back in position, some tentacles floating away, and I think maybe the hermit is too big and is damaging the coral.

corals don;t like to get sand on them. Try putting it on a rock.
