Blue leg hermits

[greyhunter]

Hi everyone i’m thinking of getting some blue legged hermit crabs for my 20 gallon because i need soms cuc and i really like them. But i’m really scared of them eating my corals. What are your guys experience?

They are reef safe.

Had a few of them all absolutely fine

They'll eat algae, left over food. They haven't eaten corals, but they can be a bit clumsy walking over corals or knocking corals with their shells. Have a few spare shells for them to upgrade to in time.

Never had a problem with them and corals other than after awhile they get pretty big and turn into bulldozers. Especially in a tank as small as a twenty gallon

I have not had any issues other than they may kill the occasional snail. They are coral safe in my experience

Out of all the hermits I've ever had I've seen 2 eating at my corals. Reef safe for the most part but there is a chance of the occasional rogue.
