I have a hermit crab in my fuge that is single handedly eating all of my macroalgae. He has gray legs and is always eating the macro. Anybody heard of hermits doing this before?

Do u have a pic? Sounds like the Dardanus sp. that I gave prof. That stinker attacked anything that did not move.

OK, this guy is now eating the caulerpa. He has to go. This is one evil hermit.

They do that. Get micro blue legs - they don't. Lots of crabs eat weed, in fact more do than don't.
