Hi,
I recently went to the beach and found a handfull of small beige hemits. I was wondering if anyone puts them in their tanks and if they are ok with corals? I found the around some live rock piles, any info would be great.
Thanks
Chris
I would strongly discourage it. Nearly all hermits have a risk...and if you can't positively identify them, you could put a real monster in your tank. I never suggest collecting things without really knowing exactly what it is Where did you collect them, BTW. Not Ohio I assume
My guess is some are like Clibinarius vittatus, which is a local species, and which gets huge and very aggressive. So in general, I would not even risk it
