Blue-Legged Hermits and Zoas

[SaltSolutions1]

Ever since I added zoas in my 45g reef my hermit keep crawling all over them. Is this ok? (my turbo snails too)

 

[heyfredyourhat]

Mine molest mine on a regular basis, no troubles so far (i think)

Don't worry about it. They just clean around their base.

 

[bunzaroo]

Mine do the same, just cleaning.

 

[singold]

Mine do this also, I have read it is beneficial by keeping clean.

So the blue legged are reef safe?

I got one as a hitchhiker on my LR & from what I remember they're considered reef safe.

hitchhiker crabs can be dangerous, but if you're certain it's a regular blue-legged crab it should be fine.

Positive it is. Searched online & everything to be sure. He has taken out 2 snails, but that's because he wanted their shells.
