Anyone have any insight into zebra hermits? I have one and a big scarlet. They’ve been in there with three blue legs who I can’t find suddenly. The blue legs and the scarlet have lived peacefully forever: the zebra is a recent addition about a month ago because I found him half dead in a used yank I bought. Are zebras aggressive? Will he munch on my coral? He hasn’t yet...

If one kind is more aggressive than others, it's news to me.

IMHO, they're all opportunistic. Snail killers at the minimum, coral eaters at their worst. I quit keeping them some time back.

Well my blue legs turned up. Idiots got into shells 4/5 times bigger than what they needed and can barely move around lol. Mine have never bothered my coral but I think I’ll only keep scarlets from now on. They’re the best cleaners ans super duper chill
