Any chance these are molts and your scarlets are fine?

Anyone know of compatability issues with scarlet reef hermits and emerald
crabs.

I've lost about 3 or 4 S.R. Hermits in the last week and I am finding the
emerald crabs are always munching on the remains. I'm not saying the
emeralds are guilty simply because they were eating the "evidence" but I
cant figure out why they are dieing.

I also have some blue leg hermits which are much smaller and I dont appear
to be losing any of them. Do I need to feed these guys something?

My tests kits are not complete but I have the following readings...

Ammonia 0
No2 0
No3 5-10
pH 8.2
Calcium 420
dKH 7
salinity 1.023
temp 82-83

My tank is a 75gal and has been up for a little over a month. I have yet to
do my first water change even...

Any ideas?
