    We just got a larger hermit crab with anemone today that is acclimating. We originally got it for our 29g Biocube but are afraid it's too big. We are going to put it in our 75g instead. Question is - we already have the same size in a hermit crab with red tips. Are these two going to fight? Or should they be okay?

    They should be ok with each other if you provide a small variety of extra shells. I've kept Scarlet and Electric Blue Hermits together in a 29H with no problem. The issue might be with other inverts. What species is it and what else is in the tank?
