Large Hermit Crab at Feeding Time

This is Hermin the Hermit Crab. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDEKpORy6EM) In the video, you can see he's a bit upset since he can't get through the gap in the rock to catch his dinner, eventually he gets his meal. I don't know his age but I have had him over two years now. He's about the size of a baseball and he has a huge appetite for clams. He gets fed three times a week and you can see in this video, he is very aggresive about protecting his catch. He lives in a 75 gallon saltwater tank with a 5+ inch Trigger named Bubba.
This video and more of my saltwater critters are on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/fuzbuns

Hermin did in fact get my yellow tang. Now he's isolated from the community tank. He's doing great and he really does have a personality, he chases me around the tank and sometimes takes an aggressive stance like he wants to get out and give me a pich.

I took mine out after I figured out they were the cause of my fish deaths.
