Blue leg hermits and turbos???

Can they live together in peace? what are the chances the blue legs will eat the turbos?

 

i had 4 mexican half moon turbos. now theres a bunch of hermits wearing really big shells. . so probably not good

 

I had a bunch in my old 29 and they worked out great yea they do take over some shells but those are the shells of the dead. i just got a bunch of empty shells for them and through them in the tank in random places and they took over some and left the snails alone so they worked for me

 

I never had any problem. I always provided extra shells too.

 

Just make sure you have LOTS of extra shells for the hermits. That's the main reason they kill the snails.

If their available food is too low they might go after the snails as well. So don't order too many crabs.

 

the crabs will only kill snails if

1. they dont have any to move into
2. the snails are considerably bigger than the crabs or much smaller.

I ordered a ton of the tiny cerinths from reefcleaners.com and they are doing a very awesome job on my tank. and they wont buldoze your corals.
