Invert compatability?
ive had a porcelain crab for awhile. alot of my margarita snails died because of a mini cycle that happened when my xenia was melting away so i was looking for someone to clean some stuff up. i got a scarlet hermit, i was just wondering if the 2 inverts can live togethor.

The hermit should be fine with the crab, its the snails that are in danger as the hermit can and will kill them for their shells. Also, hermits do not just eat algae, they are omnivores and quite capable of picking off tiny inverts, pretty much wiping out what you may have paid for on "live" rock.
