So I noticed today that my hermit is hanging out, in his usual spot, without a shell. Just chilling, doesn't seemed concerned. His shell is not too far away and there are lots of larger shells available in the tank. While he's a pain in the butt most of the time, I do enjoy him so I hope he's just waiting for lights out to find a new shell, and not getting ready for the big sleep.

What do you think? Here's a video:

Buy some larger shells for him to go into. Maybe the current one is too small. He will probably die if left without a shell for too long.

There are definitely a lot of larger shells that were available for him. However I don't think he was doing well, this morning when I checked the tank he was gone.
