nothign except they will try to eat food out of corals mouths if they dont get enough food them selfs which is no big deal really compared to shrimp, so anyways i did see one day one of my 7 blue knuckles ripped a scarlet out of its shell which was bigger than the one he was in and just straight up stold his house... craziest thing ive seen , the scarlet was fine and just took over the blue knuckles or electric blue hermit's old shell and ran far away from that big bruiser, so basically they are big and they show it just make sure there are bigger empty shells lying around as of now 2 of mine are in turbop snail shells and i doubt they will ever need to "upgrade" again

Well, no Hermit is *truly* Reef-Safe, IMO. They are oportunistic little buggers - will eat anything they can catch.

To avoid cannibalization, try a stocking ratio of one Hermit per ten gallons of tank water.

I find that Snails work better as 'cleaners', although Hermits are more fun to watch.

Hope that helps!
