I might be wrong but I don't think that's normal, do they have empty shells available? When they get bigger they look for bigger shells, if there isn't any around........

The hermit crabs were fine untill I put new shells in, then the war began! They have settled down for now. Sad news on the live rock. I put it in freshwater thinking that I could catch all of the "good" critters and put them back in my tank but there was noway they were to tiny so everything went. I will be more preparred when I buy next live rock and I will get some Joes juice just incase. I would like to get one more fish for my 12 gallon. What do you suggest to go with 2 clowns?

You will want to get rid of them. I tried blasting them with boiling water but it didnt work, everyone told me to get joes juice, so try that.

I use kalk paste in a syringe with a needle on it. Slowly squirt the paste into the mouth of the aiptasia before it closes up. It will ingest the kalk paste and die. Have used this on all the ones that intermittently appear in my tanks and none of them have regrown. Also works on mojanos.
