Okay I just bought some coral

[Davidlahache]

I have a blue legged hermit crab, really big, and I just put in my new coral piece, i was wondering if my crab will eat the coral and my anemone, should I get rid of him? View attachment 223762 will he eat the purple stuff and the red/brown stuff?

The hermit crab shouldn't bother your coral or anemone. If the coral has any algae on it they will pick at the algae. I personally like the red legged hermit crabs better, the blue will kill snails or red legged crabs to get their shells.

+1 on Blues being killers. Little bastards. They always go for the prettiest snail.
