Default Hermit Wars
For almost ever until recently if i saw two hermits fighting it out and trying to kill each-other id move them apart to keep them from dieing.

Now and for about a month or so, Ive been watching them fight and not interrupting. Even at times I seem to self cheer one on, hoping he gets away, or the other to win.

Does this makes me evil or nasty, never have I seen one kill the other but many time they fight or crawl on each-other trying to flip them or pierce them.

So does anyone else enjoy watching hermits fight, or am i just a mean reefer?
Its not like its UFC more like HFC (hermit).

Most reefers would set up another tank to separate them.

Mine fight for something to do...lol
There are plenty of shells for them to go to, but they like to pull each other out. Every now and again I find a hermit body floating around.
