Blue Legged Hermits, Good? Bad? Post your opinion
 
What are your thoughts on blue legged hermits in a reef tank?

marie 03-27-2008 04:04 AM

I have them.
I like the little things but they can do damage to any lps that you target feed because they like to pull the food right out of their mouths. Other then that they have never caused me any problems :mrgreen:

if youre going to have a hermit, these are the ones. Pretty docile, will also eat hair algae when hungry enough, and they stay small.

good to hear, so your saying i dont have to go fishng for some hermits?? lol

i love them, they do a great job cleaning LR. just put a few extra shells in so they can grab a new shell without having to kill a snail.
