Someone PLEASE explain!?

If I have never ever had hermit crabs in my tank, how is it that this guy got in here?
In fact I have made it a point to never put hermits in my tank because I do not want them.
How does this happen?

 

Life will persevere. He came in somehow as a tiny guy.

 

baby in LR, on a frag, in LFS bag water etc! there was a thread on here a week ago showing a swarm of baby pods that ended up being blue leg hermit crab babies! they look like little shrimp babies! teeny

 

He's there specifically because you didn't want him there... He's come to taunt you!!

It's amazing to me all the things that show up in my tank.

 

he was hiding in your rock, then held a nerite snail to gun point and stole his shell. lol

 

thats all i can think of... wow thats crazy.

I am thinking he is at least a year old then because I havent added anything substantial for over a year. Some frags recently but they are always fresh cut

 

It is amazing for sure.

 

Yeah that is crazy.

Guess hermit is an appropriate name for them. He has been hiding away all this time.

I do not like much either, but I am ok with one or two.

Is he going stay or are you going to find him another home?

 

I keep hermits...

 

I'd keep him! He hasn't caused you noticeable trouble and the fact that he managed to sneak in like a ninja is worth rewarding a life in a good home!
