I
have a Halloween crab that Is trying to eat everything In my tank...he Is picking on my sand sifting starfish...and my reef store gave me a small coral to try In my tank and he Is trying to eat It as well...I just took him off the top of It again...I really love him because he never stops and Is fun to watch...what should I do?

My halloween hermit picks off some of my zoas but doesn't eat them he only eats the algae between the coral & rocks.

I had one a while ago. Noticed "holes" in some of my chalices. Couldn't figure it out. One night, I'm on the phone with another reefer, trying to figure things out. As i'm talking on the phone, i see my halloween crab munching on a chalice. Picking food out of the mouth. Needless to say, he ended up getting a transfer from the coral to the fish tank.

Unfortunately most of the larger Hermit Crabs are questionable in a reef tank.
