So i am having an issue.
The little Hermit crabs with blue legs are dying.
24Gallon nano Cube
15 hermit crabs- some big some small
10 turbo snails
Coral Banded Shrimp
Emerald Crab
True Perc
Royal Gramma
So in the last two months i've found the bodies of 3-4 hermit crabs just resting on the sand bed. i suspect they are dying and being picked out of their shell. I think it may be the Shrimp- or one of the large hermit crabs who often looks like s/he is trying to get into the little one's shells.
Any help?
Also, I am thinking about replacing my Coral Banded Shrimp- Gotta get soemthing more friendly. Probably a Cleaner shrimp.
Thoughts? Also. i am thinking about getting an assortment of hermit crabs, some red legged some other ones. Do they do well mixed in a reef environment?
anyone else have any ideas why they may be dying?
