Hermit munching on coral

[towels]

I got this frag for free with my order from my LFS because it had a small piece of algae on it and I just caught my hermit up to no good
Should I frag the area above the algae and below?

I have the worst luck with crabs lol

You sure the hermit crab was eating the coral and not just climbing on in and picking at the algae?
I know it's possible for blue legs to get a taste for coral but I just want to make sure it's actually up to no good.

Odds are he was cleaning off the algae or simply climbing on it. I personally wouldn’t worry.

My urchin will sometimes get on top of coral and I’m thinking it’s eating the coral, when in reality it’s just east the algae off of it. I think your crab is just eating algae

if you’re certain it was eating the coral…. I’d still do nothing. Fragging it wouldn’t change the crabs taste for it
