Hey all,
Just wondering if my turbo snails could be killing my hermits? I have had 2 die without being in their shells. I am not sure if they are coming out to get into another shell and just dying or what. I have several empty shells in there for the snails and crabs to change into. Today I noticed a snail going up the side of my tank and a hermit was on him. Kinda hanging on by the shell where the snail comes out. I went and looked again and no the hermit was on the bottom and the snail was still on the tank. Any suggetions?? My kids want to go get more hermits but if they are just going to be killed I cant do that.
