    I caught this one in the act. The judge said "I've seen enough! Guilty as charged!" then he was cast off to a tank with no algae for 3 years.;D

    I can also say they help each other. My urchin picked up one of my hermies and was carrying him around but before I could get in there to remove him off the urchin another hermie came over and pulled him off. Pulled the shell very carefully and as soon as he was off the other hermie just walked away!

    A trip to watch is a good descriptopn. I watched one pull the other right out of it's shell. It went scurrying off under the rock. Then the other moved right in. I couldn't believe it' They sure can be fiesty.
