killer hermit crab

[lnarobbins]

I've had my blue legged hermit for about 2 years now he is HUGE (about 3") his name is kong..... anyways, last night he decided to go 4x4 to the top of my lr pile and eat my entire colony of flowerpot coral. it was hard enough to keep the stuff alive now they are all gone. tomorrow he is leaving my tank and the coral is going to be replaced.
just wanted to tell somebody besides the wife
thanks

so the refugium is a sort of a time-out for crabs? Cool.
So what will the crabs eat if they're really hungry? I just got mushrooms. Will they bother those? ( have two crabs only in a 55-gal tank and a sally)
