This is the second time i found a blue legged hermit at the tip of this Staghorn frag, last time was a few weeks ago. Is this an indication of something going wrong with the Acro?

lol if the coral can't survive losing a couple polyps to a hermit crab I have no idea how it evolved to exist in the ocean.This morning I woke up to find my Halloween hermit crab eating the back of my new acropora..There is a little bit of the flesh missing on the base of it. Do you think my acro will come back from this ?
Might be spawning. Often snails/crabs find a high point to release their eggs into the current. If it's climbing to the exact same spot there must be a reason. If it's eating the coral why not eat at the base where there's more polyps and easier access and you are less visible to a predator?This is the second time i found a blue legged hermit at the tip of this Staghorn frag, last time was a few weeks ago.

should add these guys are not reef safe and this is known although some sites might list them as safe and lump them with other hermits...This morning I woke up to find my Halloween hermit crab eating the back of my new acropora..There is a little bit of the flesh missing on the base of it.
