    Had my hermits in for a few days now and i had to take a picture of this. The turbo was minding his own business grazing away when the larger of the hermits deicided it would clean it's shell. I have never seen a snail move so quick :cheesy:

    HAHA yah that thing is huge... Like stated above, if there are no extra larger shells around, he may just start a killing spree looking for a larger home... Always good to go to the beach and find some or pay a crazy price and buy them... If you are to pick them up at the beach, I would boil them to kill any parasites before adding to the tank...

    best of Luck, That is an Awesome Hermit...
