Unfortunately even with plenty of extra shells they still like to play gladiators of the reef tank. We had one particularly nasty hermit (named "the claw") who has been banished to the sump. He would purposely hunt down and kill for pleasure as he would kill the snails and hermits that were much smaller than him. He didn't want their shell, he wanted their blood.
