On the negative side, it appears that one of my hermit crabs has gone
to that great aquarium in the sky...found his body, in two pieces, at
the back of the tank. No idea what could have happened to him.

Have you heard about molting?
Make sure these are not only old exoskeletons...
Is the shell next to the thing you found or it walked away ? ;-)

Didnt see any shell...just what looked like a ****load of legs

And yes, your previous post was correct - not looking to remove the
worm, just not looking to be in too close contact with him either

Then the hermit is alive, it was just old exoskeleton...

Yep, and every time it moults, it gets a little bigger. You might want to pick
up some spare empty shells for them to swap into.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.
