I got some blue hermit crabs, starting out, that were miniscule, their shells no bigger than a quarter of an inch. When I bought them, the LFS said they were so small they couldn't hurt anything. After two months, some of these guys have doubled, even tripled in size. I have not seen them causing any problems, but now that algae is under control I'm wondering where they are going to start looking for food. I'm looking for advice on when or if to relocate them. Some posts here have said blue hermits are no trouble and others have said they are the worst, even "eco-terrorists." I think after reading a number of threads here, I'm familiar with the reasoning behind banning crabs from the tank, but I'd like to hear more from pro-hermit owners. Thanks!
