hermits and anemones
 
I know that condy anemones are absolute enemys with hermits, but i'd really like to have em' in my clean up crew as they are quite efficient detritus scavengers and was wondering if theres any chance if theres any species of hermits that wouldn't bother my anemone? -o and i also have snails so keep that in mind, thanx again..

They are talking about Red-Leg Hermit Crabs that grow very big.
Small blue legs are ok.

I have both red legged and blue legged hermit crabs ,for over a year now and there has been no problem with them at all .

I would think thant most animals are smart enough to stay away from an anemone, well except my halloween hermits.. you would think they were anemone crabs they way the pester my BTA.

are condy anemones as unpopular with anemone crabs as they are with most clownfish?

yep i had my condi eat a poor anemone crab i bought. even though ive read clowns wont host in a condi mine are but it was over 2 years before it happened.
and i also think the red hermit they are talking about is the same as the one in my picture
