Rick Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 This one passed on a few weeks ago. The shell was about 2 1/2" wide. (When I got it the shell it was in was about 5/8") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I got a handfull of hermits, a handfull of emeralds, SLF, and had an arrow crab....until my wrasse ate him. If my trade goes through I might end up with zero crabs....(scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how big they can get but I think it simply lived out it's lifespan. It's the only one I didn't have to worry about the eel eating however it also was big enough that it would make a path through the corals knocking them over so it was a pita sometimes. It never failed to get comments when people saw it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I have had 2 electric blues for over a year. Found a empty shell of one the other day and no sign of it moving shells. I am starting to suspect my other one of murder though. I used to have 30 or 40 different types of hermits and now I have him and about 5 random ones. Not to mention that all of my snails minus a few have turned up missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I came back from the beach after 4th of July I found mine with the carapace of the emerald I use to have wide open snacking on it. Don't know if it killed it or was just eating it but nevertheless I wouldn't put it past them to kill and eat others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Heres the biggest guy in my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hey Michael, is that a red scarlet? looks big for those guys. I have about 5 in my tank and they dont grow fast, maybe they are full grown??? Anyway, I found an pic from a month ago, this is the biggest blue I have, I used to have 2 and they other was slightly smaller, have not seen him in a while. I have seen this guy litterally rip a crab from its shell-He is on top of a pretty large Turbo Snail He owns ALL the shells and there inhabitants in my tank, and keeps them in check(enforcer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yeah that is a scarlet hermit! And the shell is from a larger astrea snail. I think I have had that crab for about 2-3yrs. I have never seen one that is bigger! PS- you can see the frag plug behind him in the pic.... thats one of the larger frag disks too.
