    Yeah, his is nice. Only worries me that they can eat fish. :-/

    I have a big black brittlestar. They are supposed to be less predatorial. I only ever see his arms sticking out from under a big rock. He has dug himself a nice den. I think he has been eating my astreas. There is a shell pile next to his rock >:( but I have not witnessed anything.

    I have this big red scarlet hermit that has a weird lookung molusk attatched to his shell. I have seen it move but only like 1/8 inch at a time. His shell is shaped exactly like a half of a pistachio shell. Does anyone know what it is? I also have one that has some sort of slow growing encrusting coral on its shell. I have been tempted to start some metalic green star polyps on his shell just to see if they would attatch. Or mabey a xenis. I saw a picture with a hermit with a xenia attatched to his shell once. COOL
