Scarlett Hermit and intro

[Terrapin2000]

So I am new to the reefing hobby and I have a 55gal dry/live rock mix and have been cycling, etc for a while. I do not have any fish yet, but parameters are good so most likely getting some this weekend probably a clown or two.

I have a Scarlett Hermit that has for the last two weeks or so just sitting in the same hole in the dry rock right near the wave maker without leaving and barely moving if at all. The other two hermits red and blue leg are fine as well are my turbo and astrea snails.

What would cause this or what is this Scarlett's issue?

Are you sure it is still alive?

Welcome to R2R! You may want to try and pull on it and see if it tries to stay put. This is a sign that it is alive and clung to the lr.

He probably just died, it can happen.

scarlet's are more sensitive then other hermits. probably just stressed if you see its eyes and antenna? moving
