just got some zoanthids and saw this guy on them
Hi,
I just got new zoanthids(just starting corals) and i saw my hermit on top of the zoas. Im not able to identify him to check if he's reef safe, so im going to post a picture of it. If anyone knows, please help me out! Otherwise im going to donate him to my LFS. He was free anyways. [IMG]http://i44.*******.com/2edqrlv.jpg[/IMG] Thanks!

Stripped hermit, safe for corals and such but they may attack snails. They are optomistic feeders but are good for eating left over food.

I had a couple of those after starting up my 28 years ago. They pick at just about everything and do a fairly good job at knocking stuff around. Never again will I have any.

I got a hermit that looks exactly like that one time on accident in a bag of snail orders. He doesn't harm any corals, but he has gotten rather large for a hermit. As stated above, he will take out snails.... Mine took out a very large mexican turbo snail and has a nice large home now. lol.

If well fed, they will leave snails alone. I have those, red hermits, and blue legged with turbos, florida ceriths, nassarius, and nerite snails and never had a problem.
