Hi all-
Just got back from vacation in Maine (it was chilly!). The first thing I did when I walked in the door, check on Fred the turtle & the aquarium. Needless to say the aquarium needed a good scrubbing and a water change, but to my surprise, I was missing a scarlet leg hermit. His shell is now attached to a green leg hermit. Hmmmm. I found the green's old shell but no trace of the scarlet. Is he dead? hiding?
To avoid this catastrophe in the future, where does one purchase empty shells?
The second new thing going on in the aquarium- my blenny has taken over the peppermint shrimp's home. The shrimp waits just outside his hole for the blenny to come out, when she does he just follows her to another hole. I have never seen this before. I know valentine's day is coming up , is there some type of interspecies love going on here?
