Those blue legs are aggressive. I had 3. Down to one. Even though there were other shells of similar size, they seem to prefer each others. Mean! Good looking, but as you say, murderous. Is that a word? lol

Thanks for the replies all.
I guess since he's the only one left I don't really have to worry about him.

Just ensure you have a few different shells in an open place. in time he may try for your snails. i did lose a snail in the past.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

my blue legs are good except for with margarita snails, they love their shells so i went from 8 -2 snails now, but the crabs have never killed eachother, could be because i have about 100 shells in my tank.

my scarlet hermit changes shells every couple days then changes back to the old one, no idea why.

Ive got tons of extra shells in the tank and have watched a hermie kill a snail and then not even try the shell on for size. They are highly opportunistic.
