blue carpet ate hermit crab

Any one else experienced this? hope it will be ok, the nem that is.

Don't worry- your nem will be fine. You will probably see the expelled shell in a couple of days.

no but i watched my H. crispa eat a good size Echinometra rock urchin. next day the sand around it was littered with spines and a hollow test! i've know doubt your carpet is enjoying it's meal.

My tan one ate a conch once with no ill effects.

Here is an old picture of the shell coming back out.

My carpet tried to eat my gigantic turbo snail. He fell in and I knew the snail was doomed. I went to out to dinner and when I came back the snail was on the front glass eating away. I guess he got his door closed before the carpet could taste snail and spit him out.

I can't keep any snails or hermits with my haddoni. He eats them all.
