Grrr so mad... dead duncan

[ronnieblaze]

so i come home late from work to find that my duncan frag is missing its head... it looks like my giant hermit the one i call Hitler decided to eat it like he does to all my other snails!...

im so pissed my frag was growing very nicely too

Maybe he would have been different if you had given him a name like fluffy.

 

[ronnieblaze]

heh only reason i call him hitler is because he decided to kill all my snails for no reaon

 

[FutureInterest]

Is there some compelling reason why you are keeping "hitler" around?

 

[ronnieblaze]

not really i dont want to kill him... i got no where else to put him right now

I understand the desire not to needlessly kill him... it didn't do anything against its nature. Big hermits are just not reef safe. I think you should consider giving him to a LFS or in the alternative eat him. Texas BBQ style crab is amazing...

I was going to make a joke, but in good taste I think it better I don't .

If you have a sump, through him in there... That's what I did to me Anemone crab... that is until I forgot about him:unsure: I found mi weeks later... poor terrorist, he had lost both claws and both anemones... So I put him back in the tank, because he was harmless :thumbs:

Are anemone crabs not reef-safe? I have a porcelain crab and he is no problem, I just hardly ever see him. I was under the understanding that anemone crabs (the kind they call pom-pom crabs, right?), are similar to porcelain crabs in general behavior.

What did yours do that was so bad? If he's anything like hermit crabs I will steer clear -- hermits are murderous little beasts.

I'm calling it an anemone crab (that could be the wrong name) it was a huge hermit that had 2 small anemones growing on it's shell...
