Anyone have issues where a hermit in a big shell just walks around and bumps all the corals?

one of my blue legs moved into a bigger shell and i swear hes just bumping into everything! Im scared my lps are going to get damaged!

They were doing so well until the shell upgrade :(
They shouldn’t kill any coral. Just watch out from them sleeping on them. I had a few that think the top of the leathers are beds and I needed to kick them off or the leathers start to droop.

Also if you keep them fed they do alright. If you start missing meals, they become psychopaths and kill snails and each other.
