I got this guy a good number of years ago and he has gotten pretty large. He is probably the most effective GHA destroyer I ever had and I would love to get a few more of his kind...

What about a thin striped hermit?

That looks like my guy when he was younger and cuter - now he is just big and hairy. But he is the best GHA destroyer I have so far. My scarlet hermits all hang out on the Montipora corals these days instead of attacking the algae...

I have to agree, my handful of scarlets are vibrant and pretty but they are so lazy. I’ll have to add a couple thin stripes on my next reef cleaners order
