Oh thats great. Ive got one of them in my tank that was sold as a “scarlet leg” hermit. Was planning on attempting a reef but good to know!
Looks like a coral of some kind to me?I discovered my hermit munching on some strange thing and snapped a quick photo. It looked a little meaty, the crab was tearing chunks off and eating it. Maybe a snail?
It kind of resembles a zoanthid which I have plenty of, but I’ve never seen a hermit go after corals like that. Any ideas?
I'm not entirely sure what that is in the photo, but it's definitely not a scarlet hermit. You can just pop yours in the sump, or rehome it, if it causes trouble.
Yeah true. Its actually my favorite hermit though lol crawls on my hand when Im doing tank work! Personable little guy
Good call! I wasn’t aware of the reef incompatibility there. He came from a CUC pack and has been in the tank for about a year with no issues, but now that he’s had a taste of coral I’ll have to keep an eye on him
