hard to tell with those critters. Personally I don't trust them.

I have had the same 5 nas snails and blue leg hermits in my tank for 10 months. No issues yet.

It's definitely not out of the question, especially if the hermit crab has his sights set on that shell. Nice looking hermit, by the way.

While my micro blue legs and my red legs haven't touched my nassarius snails, I'm of the impression that hermits will eat anything if there's not enough food around.
