Heres another odd video of one of my hermits. This time its being attacked by the female clown??? Some odd stuff happening in my tank recently. Last week or a few days ago it was the yuma and hermit and now its a clown and hermit. lol

BTW the hermit seemed like it had eggs on the inner part of its body (part that goes into the shell.) I have no idea why it would be outside of its shell unless its mating? Keep in mind the hermit was on the sand bed near the big yuma and was on the clown which had swam all over the tank with the hermit hanging on it.

No hermits were harmed in the making of this video. Sorry I forgot to hit the macro button, it was a spontaneous thing.

After it had landed in the sand from the other fishes picking at it, it was picked up and shaken again... :confused:

I've had a hermit grab a clownfish who was the size of yours before and proceed to eat it alive. I was doing a water change, and the pumps were off, and the clownfish ducked down towards the sand, and the hermit was right there, caught it, and started tearing at it. By the time I realized what was going on, the clownfish was fubar. :(
At least you only lost a hermit and not a clownfish.
 
lol, both of them are still alive. The hermit was taken to the back of the rocks, but i didnt see the other fishes go after it. maybe 1 leg was taken, but nothing else
