Blue leg hermit in Zoa

[Lauramichelle]

I have a certain crab who keeps getting into one of my Zoas. I pull him off. But he climbs back up to the same one. I can't tell if he's hurting it or cleaning it.

LOL!! Pulling them away won't help!!
Yes they do that. Some times they get some food from them too.
I don't like to keep crabs because of that.
Most of the small ones won't damage the zoas, but when you first introduce the zoas in the aquarium it will contribute to some of the stress. They can take the frags from the rocks too.

Lol. I checked on things this morning. The crab is still there. Snuggled under the Zoa. The Zoa is looking pretty as ever. Maybe my crab is hosting the Zoa? Lol

I have a hermit that used to "burrow" under a small bit of rock with some zoas on it and he'd hang out there for hours at a time.
I also have a bumblebee snail that curls up in a space between another frag and a bit of liverock.. he comes out in the evening to do his thing, then heads back during the day
