Snails and crabs

[tristan123]

Why do all my hermit crabs and snail all sleep on top of each other right next to my zoanthids?

Hi, if you can post some photos will be good, probably it's normal, or something else is bothering them around. No idea to be honest with you, but sometimes photos can help.

Eventually you wind up with crabs, no snails, they eat them for the shells.

My hermits don’t mess with my snails or other crabs.

My hermits tend to sleep in thin-branched corals - always assumed that was for protection against predators through the overnight. My snails tend to sleep tucked away in crevices or under the sand .... or, many of the snails are nocturnal, so they're active when the hermits are sleeping.
