Scarlet hermit crabs ganged up on Mandarin?
Hi, I have a quick question about scarlet hermit crabs. I know they are good to have in a reef and they are supposed to be less aggressive then other hermit crabs. I saw to my dismay this morning four of my large scarlet hermits tearing apart my small twin spot mandarin!!! The mandarin has been in my tank for about a year or more and was doing very well. I hadn’t seen any sign of him being sick. Could the Scarlets have grabbed a hold of him while he was resting at night or would it be more likely that for some unknown reason he died and the Scarlets were just doing there job? At this point in time I’m inclined to take all of my larger Scarlets out and trade them in for smaller ones. I’ve had a few small fish die here recently and I’m not sure if it’s because of the some tank condition or if these Scarlets are just more aggressive w
