I was watching my tank, and noticed one of the hermits, investigating an empty shell. It looked inside, and then it came out and started to rotate the shell. In my mind I chuckled that it was taking measurements of the shell,(still could have been) however a few air bubbles came out of the shell. Maybe they rotate the shell to get rid of air and debris? Grabbed my phone and caught him in the act of changing shells.
