Blue Leg Hermits camping on my Leather

[shogun323]

I have a yellow Fiji Leather that I have had for over a month now. It is currently sloughing which I understand they do prior to molting. The thing is my Blue Leg Hermits will not leave it alone. One will crawl up on it and set up camp literally all day long. I knock one off and an hour later he is back up. I have put direct flow on it to blow away any loose skin it it shedding but the blue legs still keep coming back. They have been bothering my leather and its polyps havent come out in a couple of days. What is the deal with the hermits??

We've had a yellow fiji for a year now and our hermits do the same thing. Sometimes they camp out more than other times. Just let it be. Ours have grown tremendously with the annoying hermits making it mad...
