Porcelin crabs and blue leg hermits

 

Hawks and crabs arent known to get along well. Also I know one poster mentioned an arrow crab. They are notorious for suddenly turning non reef safe and demolishing corals and livestock alike. Run a search for them on here and you be the judge.

My hawk was killed every shrimp or crab to I have added with the exception of my snapping shrimp and one emerald crab. It does seem to let hermits go for some reason, but emeralds & porceleins have fell prey. He was one of my first livestock purchases, and had it not been for my little bit of loyalty once purchased (it wasnt his fault right?) he wouldve been gone long ago.
