How big is this guy? A home is a home and yes they will.This guy. Will a hermit go for a conch shell though?

Well maybe must be double full moon night after night as op in southwest england and im in northwest england and now nearly 24 hours later i had exact same happen ( video coming shortly,ignore part about me saying i hope crab dies lol)Alternative theory.
It was a full moon and he was horny......
Yeah can see me having sump full of hermits soon and they killing each other just for fun down there ha haThese hermits are jurks!
I can't imagine the hermit is the cause of that behavior. That leaping ability is usually on display when the conch is disturbed by something. The repeated jumping with nothing near it is concerning. Even more concerning is that it almost looked as if it were coming out of it's shell towards the end of the video. I'd definitely keep him in the fuge for a while and watch him. I don't know anything you can do for him other than protect him.
That hermit, was like "get back here! I'm not done with you."@saltyhog 22 hours on and same for me.
Heard noise and cbb darting around tank and big hermit wrestling conch and didnt catch first 3- 4 jumps but started filming as conch good 12 inch away jumping and still jumping till nearly in corner 30 inch away then after stopped filming jumped few more times till hit corner glass then went half under sand.
Looks like it was trying to catch fish to eat. Are you sure it's a fighting conch
Ha ha went to lfs to give hermit away and buy a tank,thats funny ^_^The hermit went to a lfs today.
I hate going to the lfs I ended up buying another tank.. only went to drop it off.
I couldn't find the 2nd conch so ended up stripping the system only to find it absolutely fine.. been a long day
That's crazy how 2 of us had same issue with 24 hrs freeky moon maybe.
Both my conchs are in my fuge giving that a clean and give them some chill out time from everything else in the display.
Now at least once the new tank is cycled I will have a place to put stuff if it ever happens again. Just bought a little 10g nano mostly to get my frag racks out of my main tank.
Appreciate all the help.
I had one of these... didn't know until all my fish were devouredVery interesting video but im certain as can be my conch just a tiger conch or could call it a strawberry lipped or something similar and never seen that thing it sticks out to inject venom into the fish.
Mine was wrestling with the hermit 100% and hermit was the aggressor trying to get conch after split them up while conch jumping away and it seems op conch doing same,just op only seen conch jumping to safety but again thats very interesting video,thanks for sharing,nature absoloutely amazing ( scary but amazing ha ha )
