Hermit crabs are fun, when they're not knocking over your frags and killing each other. Pretty hardy too.

Yeah, tell me about it! These little blue legs scurrying about aimlessly climbing onto my Montipora Digitata and Capricornis and Caulastrea frags with the end result turning out the same way over and over, knocked over. But you have to love those little guys!!! They remind me of ants! Always on the move and hard workers!
