What type of Hermit crab do you have?

Any comments?

IMO, they do more harm than good.

My hermits are both type, but they stay in the sump and I take one or two out a week to feed our mantis shrimp.

Scarlett hermits. About 10 in a 150g tank. So far they have been well behaved. There is one bully that tries to steal other hermits shells. I put a nice big empty shell in front of him and he made the switch. They leave my snails and corals alone.

Only in my non-coral tank (FOWL+Invert)...

Mine kinda act like they are in Hunger Games. There can only be one winner.

Are red leg and scarlet different? I have red and blue, but a small number of each in a 90 display.

Scarlets only, I have about 10 now in my 110 i'll probably add 5-10 more at the most, I don't normally run a lot of hermits in my reefs. They are well behaved and don't bother the corals.

Screw that noise, I don't need those voracious, vindictive little punks in my tank
