This is the only zebra hermit I have had.
He doesn't fight...he kills for sport, only sticking to competitors in his weight class. Out of all the casualties he has never moved into a competitors shell, only the ones I supply...and yes he always has plenty to choose from.

Only with other hermits/snails that are around the same size.
He leaves all my smaller hermits/snails alone.

Ripper has moved on to the melted butter cloud in the sky. Today marks the last day of his tank mate torment. RIP "Ripper"...The 4 year old hermit I loved to hate.
