so, I think i might have found the answer to my own question now.... the one may be looking for a new shell... the guy at the LFS said it would be a long time till they look for one, but I guess not... I think that's what they are doing.... I hope it will be okay from now until the time I get a new shell, otherwise, I'll be down a hermit crab by tomorrow afternoon!

and it stopped and all was fine.The one that got ran out.Just went and got in this huge just for looks shell i have in my tank.It was so funny.It's like he was

Hermits fight all the time, domanance issues I guess. Ive seen piles of 4 at a time going at it, but nobody gets hurt ever they just run off once defeated lol.
They only time I ever had a problem is when 3 of my bluelegs were fighting and threw the 3rd out of his shell and well when my Cleaner shrimp spotted it, it became a free meal unprotected by a shell.
Id get a few extra shells and throw them in. Just make sure their close in size the the hermits themselves.
