Staghorn hermit collector
I guys,
I used to collect these in Baja for export and I know for a fact that the Scripps Aquarium in San Diego kept them well for over a year.
They would feed yeast and blood mixed together and let hem loose on a deep sand bed.
We would find them pretty deep where the light was weak.
75 feet down and lotsa wild plankton floating around.
I kinda got the idea that the hermits time was up when the corals time ran out ...but did find wild ones with dead coral "houses". Some got 3 inches across.
PS Another thing...I never found em in warm ie. 80 degree water. In summer they went deeper...in winter shallower.
