Breeding is actually quite easy - just collect several hermits,
put into one tank with ample feedings and they will breed...
The problem will be with rising larvae after they reproduce.
I have observed several events of blue hermits and red hermits
releasing larvae to the water column, but all my attempts of
keeping larvae alive were unsuccessful.
I am talking about tropical species of "scarlet hermit"
and subtropical, Florida resident "blue legged hermits".
