    please see a photo of my new mushrooms, also see blue legged hermitt crab, who i think is eating them ? I am not 100% sure, but i do think so.........

    I had some Green Mushrooms a wee while ago, and thought they had been cremated after a electrical timer switch left my metal halide on for 15 hours (sorry mushrooms)

    if this possible ?

    do i just remove the hermitt crab and relocate him to the refugium, with the other naughty things ?

    I would bet that the crab is only cleaning up/stealing food from the mushroom.

    I'm not sure what to make of the mushrooms. Is that what they usually look like? I have never heard of a hermit crab eating mushrooms, but you never know I guess.
