wrasses and hermit crabs

[creech72]

Will a Lunar Wrasse kill a hermit crab or even just nip it's legs off?

I have several puffers and a lunar wrasse and a big hermit crab
the wrasse is about 6 inches big and has not done anything to the hermit or any of fish

I was just wondering. On two occasions now, I have found hermit crab legs laying on the bottom of my tank. Maybe the hermit crabs are fighting amongst themselves.

The hermits might be molting. They do naturally, but will more freq. if there are any changes in the water.

I have a 6" Dragon Wrass with several hermits, tiny ones and a few bigger ones . The Dragon does pick up there shells and throws them, I have never seem him kill a hermit crab. He did take out my emeralds and sally light foot.
Good Luck
