    Default Hermit Crabs... Grrr....

    Anyone else have hermit crabs that push everything over? It is starting to irratate me. It wasn't that bad before but now that I have a bunch of small frags it is everyday.

    My wife wants me to ban them all to the sump, but then I wouldn't have anything to stir up my crushed coral gravel.

    Anyone have any ideas? Is there something else I can use to turn the substrait that won't climb all over the rocks knocking stuff over?

    Yep! I have/had a blue leg that knocked everything over. I named him Idiot Crab because of this. Really peeved me off constantly. I finally got smart....When I set up my wife's 55G Reef I Made sure I slid "Idiot Crab" into her tank. MUHAHAHAHAH.

    Not really much will stir up Crushed Coral. Hermits more than anything. Our tanks are all sand and there are several options for that but CC is tough.
