I have a BTA who has has some problems lately he went in to a rock and didn't come out for 2 weeks. when he did come out he was white as white can be.

He seems a bit better now but is not even close to being back to what he was 2 months ago

But for some reason there seems to be this one Blue leg hermit that stands right on him and seems to be picking at him..... ???

why would the hermit crab do this and also why would the anemone let him ???
could he be dieing or something and i just dont know it ?

That is very strange.

I would remove the hermit, as it can't be doing anything good. And try feeding your BTA.

If it's white, then it's bleached. What are your lights?
