Tiger Conch

[AaronOB82]

I have 10 hermit crabs in my 55 gallon and 4 tiger conch. Since i out the conch in my tank, i noticed 2 dead hermits. Are my conch eating them? The dead hermits are not in a shell its just their legs and what appears to be some remains of a head (eyes and a head)

Sounds like the crabs are killing one another. How many extra shells did you have in the tank? My guess is that you have blue legs, which are known for killing eachother.

I found out that its just an exo skeleton of the hermits.

Absolutly not. Best cleaner ever!!!! Have 2 in a 40b. Over 150 various snails, 15 scarlet hermits, stars, cucumbers, shrimp. Not a mean bone in there body. And they clean everything. They are very entertaining and cool looking. Even ate dinos when I battled them. The only mean thing I can say is they knock stuff over. No biggie. Love them

I don't think so. But 4 Tiger Conch on 55g? Probably hungry. Maybe drop Algae wafers to supplement.
