I have just been examining my 55 gallon tank at night with a torch trying to identify a possible eunicid worm. Anyway, one of my red legged hermits was busy eating, when it stopped, crawled part way out of it's shell and released maybe a hundred or so live swimming things. Is this normal? I thought crabs layed eggs? Afterwards, it returned into its shell and carried on eating.
Does this mean I have to find a lot of tiny shells for the new crabs or is this some horrific parasitic creature event?
