Huly September 30, 2012 Share September 30, 2012 We have a bonded pair if Orange Goby and since we added them to our tank we noticed a few hermits disappearing and 2I turned up deceased. We assume it is the Goby as we have caught them picking up empty and snail or crabs and carrying them off to decorate their home. Has anyone else expieranced this? We assume they are not eating the crabs as we have found whole bodies but maybe they are accidentally killing them as they shove them into the rocks?

treesprite September 30, 2012 Share September 30, 2012 Sometimes crabs move between shells, and if they come out of their shell and can't find a new one.... maybe the gobies are taking the empty shells so then the crabs can;t find any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huly September 30, 2012 Author Share September 30, 2012 That is a good thought. It is very strange. As we have seen them carry live hermits to decorate their home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
