    It is a beauty to look at and according to the lfs guy they will hang out near an sps and grab food out of the water column and will benefit the coral as well.

    That being said if it so much as nicks a coral he's going in the mini-tank with the pods.

    Occasionally knocks a frag, but just about every reef cleaner does that. And when I first got him, he ate a snail and took it's shell, but after I added Some replacement shells for him to switch into whenever he wants, the escargot was taken off the menu. Over all I would reccomend one for sure! And blue legs are smaller bur otherwise the same, hermits only really eat snails when they have no other shells to switch to
