    I have a feeling the goby was not in tip top shape, but I am not a fan of blue legged hermits for their affinity for killing beneficial snails.

    I personally don't keep blue legged hermits in my displays.

    I only have snails in my DT, hermits are little punks with attitudes towards everything. Snails are the best choice.
