    That's because conchs are big and poisonous and your hermits are small. Skip the hermits, all they do is nothing and knock over coral frags. I have seen small blue legged hermits take on full size mex turbos and win!

    Keep all your critters fed, including your hermits, and you won't have issues.

    I have the 6 gal NanoCube and I have 3 red legged hermits, 3 blue leg hermits, 4 small nassurius, and 6 small turbos. I had a huge turbo in there for a while, but I put him in the 12 gal. I haven't had a problem with any kind of algae and my tank is 2 years old.

    I will be getting a cleaning shrimp soon.

    He didn't starve in 2 days. He was either not healthy at the LFS or he had some sort of shock (i.e. salinity, pH, temperature).

    How did you acclimate it and what are your parameters for the above 3?
