The problem is he is starting to get quite large now. I bought him when he was as big as a dime, now he has molted about six times. I think him, and super nassarius are going back to the LFS.

I thought I saw a struggle, followed by the feast. The hermit wasnt completely out of the shell, but just about. This happened at the very top of the rock so we are talking about 10 inches above the sand. This is odd behavior correct?

Saturday the invertebrates were given a sheet of blue green algae. 90% of the time that the sheet was in there and I wasn't sleeping the emerald was eating the sheet. I feed them a sheet twice a week.
