Staghorn Reef Hermits?
Anyone else seen these? A LFS had 4 or 5 of there. The crabs were living
inside of staghorn coral... They looked like the drilled a hole in a staghorn frag and moved inside. An interesting looking crab also. Light tan colored with one big claw and some interesting markings. Anyone know if it's actually staghorn coral they are living in or is it a shell they produce that looks like a staghorn? And I wonder if they are actually reef safe. Kinda expensive at $35 a piece. Interesting critters none the less. -- Ric Seyler

Staghorn Reef Hermits?
The staghorn is usualy a bryzoid, that usualy does not live long in the
aquarium, so then when it dyes, the hermit leaves it for another shell. Wayne Sallee http://members.aol.com/waynesallee/weblink.htm In article , RicSeyler writes: Anyone else seen these?
