    Just thought I would share. I was feeding my snowflake the other day with silverslides. Put one on a stick put it in the tank and the eel pulled it in a hole in the live rock. The all the sudden my scarlet hermit poped out of his shell and ran accross the tank went on top of the rock and pulled the silverslide out of the rock and ran back across the tank. The crab just keeps stealing the eels food. Its funny. I usualy end up having to try to feed the eel again later. The crab was eating some shrimp I put in their and the ell comes over to see what smells so good and he goes to bite and and the crab waves his arms at the eel until he goes away.
