They are fine. They don't hurt anything. In fact, given enough time, they'll create homes for blennies and gobies and such in the rock. They'll...
That's a rock boring urchin. That is why you haven't seen it. You probably won't see it again for a while. Probably Echinometra sp.
Periodically target feed it some brine or mysis shrimp about an hour after lights out. (when the lights go out, put a small amount of coral food in...
The only things ones tank would benefit from would be the B-Vitamins and Vitamin C. I would assume (HOPE) most people are supplementing their foods...
I can't say for sure but I sure wouldn't try it. Some vitamin C and Riboflavin (B12) sure.....but Zinc, Copper, Iodine, etc. Seems risky to me.
BTW, it will NEVER leave it's hole. This species stopped using snail shells a looooong time ago. In a sense, your whole porites rock is it's shell....
Halimeda incrassata isn't as available as Halimeda opuntia, however I like it better. Nice snag.
Here's a couple cool pictures Ocean Images Gallery: Coral Hermit-Crab-(Paguritta gracilipes) Gallery Quality Photographic Print

It didn't take as long to find as I thought. This will answer your questions on how the plant visibly changes. Halimeda: The Cactus Algae by Kirby...
This is easy. I need to find an article by Kirbster. I can only remember his user name and not his real name so be patient while I search for that....
OK....A CAVEAT FIRST. DON'T FREAK OUT BY WHAT FOLLOWS. THERE'S SIMPLE SOLUTIONS THAT TOM COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. OK, this is Tom's...
It does very well. People sometimes mess up with this species because the like the looks of it and they put it into their display tanks. REMEMBER,...
That's fine. As a new leaf sprouts, it will pop off the top one that is white. Leave it there and it will become sand. (Not all sand is created by...
It's relatively easy to keep. If you rarely do waterchanges, you might need to add a little Iron. Remember, it is calcareous so you need to have...
