    One of my hermit crabs died and another one ate him. The one that died I noticed the last couple of days he had been hanging out on my GSP and not moving very much at all. Woke up this morning and saw one of the other ones going to town on him. Should I have anything to worry about. Tank is 4 months old.

    Pretty sure he is now having lunch on him. He hasn't got off the other since this morning.
