Hey everyone!
So over the past 10 days (or so) I have noticed one of my dwarf zebra hermit crabs climbing on top of some corals and just sitting there. Sometime the crab will sit there in the same place, on top of the same coral for hours without moving. I have never seen this before, and I'm not sure what's going on. None of the corals that it sits on seem to be damaged, so I don't believe the crab is eating them. I also thought maybe the crab is laying eggs within the coral polyps, but I'm not familiar with crabs and their eggs. I have included a pic of the crab sitting on top of my long polyp galaxea. Any help would be great!
