Hey everyone! Ordered a CUC from LA and got a couple hitch hikers. The biggest is a large hermit who must have killed ad taken the shell from what is supposed to be a fighting conch. The second is a smaller crab living in a bumblee snail shell.

Any ideas or anything to be concerned with ( large one is my big worry)

Put extra shells in and they will leave your snails alone.

That thing is cool! I would sump it until it grows.... if it stays that size, off to the display and monitor it closely. If it nips at coral more than just a little..... hit it with the special shampoo
 
First one is yellow tip
second one is blue leg hermit
 
Thanks for the quick replies everyone! I dont have coral in there yet. Should be here in an hour. And the only snails I have are pretty small. He may get donated
 
If yellow tip. He is a keeper
