magnetic1 March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 I have this large blue legged hermit that keeps getting stuck in my birds nest! Everytime I pull him out, he manages to get himself back into the birds nest the next day! Is he going back to the birds nest for some particular reason?

jason the filter freak March 3, 2008 Share March 3, 2008 Yes, we just don't know what that particular reason is. Could there be a particular pest he's after on/in that coral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetic1 March 3, 2008 Author Share March 3, 2008 (edited) Could there be a particular pest he's after on/in that coral? no pests, but there is a acro crab in there. It's annoying caus once he gets in there, he cant get out! I have to manually yank him. Which requires me taking the birds nest out. blah! Thinking about throwing him into the sump. None of my other hermits want to even come near the birds nest. Just this HUGE one that came on the coral.

flowerseller March 4, 2008 Share March 4, 2008 Are you sure a fish is not deposting him there? Try moving the coral to a different spot and see if the coral is really the attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetic1 March 4, 2008 Author Share March 4, 2008 Tried moving coral once, and then the other time I put the crab on the opposite side of the tank. He made his way over in less than 4 hours and got stuck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmubeach March 4, 2008 Share March 4, 2008 In my opinion he would defenlty go to the sump I lost an entire tank to a big red legged hermit a few years ago:) weird about him getting stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite March 4, 2008 Share March 4, 2008 I would move him rather than obsess over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
