something munching on my clams

[Zoom]

Well i was checking on my clams 3 weeks a go and i notice they had small pieces missing from there mantle, so I was looking to see what was munching on my clams . So every night one hour after the lights go off I was looking with the flashlight, so after 3 weeks I got the S@#%B it was a blue leg hermit crab the only one that the Tuskfish didn't eat . So I got him out ,and today my clams was expanding more and looking better.I post this experience so everyone that have this hermit get them out now.

Steve,
Great catch. IMO crabs plus clams equal zero clams.

Zoom way to go. I agree with Jim Norris, hermits are bad news when it comes to clams. Even though most people will say they never had a problem with them. Usually when they do get a problem it is too late. Hoping your clam makes a full recovery. :thumbsup:

ime, i haven't had a problem with the blue-leggeds and clams. but for sure i have had several blue-leggeds get quite big and kill astreas for their shells.

i have since stopped buying blue-leggeds, but i have 1 left (the mrs. named sebastian). he was banished to the sump for about a year until i set up a little nano for him.

The things I dislike about crabs is that if you do have a clam that is stressed for whatever reason, it won't give the clam time to recover and possible cause more stress.
