    Yesterday I bought 2 electric neon blue hermits. this evening, one was standing on top of my reef, the other was being eaten (or something) by my peppermint shrimp. they didn't do that to my crab did they??? they were just eating what was already dead right????

    Correct. I'm glad you gave me that option, most think that since something is eating something else, it must have killed it. BTW, I'm sure that blue neon cost you a pretty penny, did you buy it online or from a LFS? If online, did they pack them both together?

    No, I got them at the LFS and for only (only??) $6 each. They had a short comfortable ride home and I think they even watched a movie (LOL I have DVd player in truck). the other one is ok and checking out my rocks. I realize that I didn't see this one really at all after initially acclimating them (45 min with 4 water additions prior to insertion). maybe he was just barely hanging on and had a heart attack when he saw his new kingdom!!LOL again. I'll Talk to LFS today. Thanks Gresham.

    Oh, oh, can I post my pic of a blue neon hermit Craig?

    Ben, yes do go back and see whats up, thats way to quick of a transport for a hermit to die. In blue neons defense, they are a semi delicate critter when it comes to shipping, BUT NOT THAT delicate.
