Hermits And Polyps

I got a bunch of baby blue leg hermits, And I've seen them picking at my polyp frags. Is this normal? Walking all around them with their little legs inside the polyps?

I have had blue's eat yellow polyps. Cleaned them right out of my tank. But I have not seem tham touch Zooanthids or star polyps.

They aren't zoos, they're the green star polyps. Is this ok or will the little suckers kill the weak and struggling polyps?

I bet they are just walking over them and picking deterious off them. Not likly they are eating them.

I agree, there most likely picking around them for junk, rather then picking at them for polyp meat.

Hermits are usually only eating detrius and other things.
