porcelain anenome crabs mating

[aresgod]

I was up at around 2 AM this morning decided to go looking around my tank,(always fun at night all sorts of cool stuff you dont see during the day) and it apears that my 2 porcelain anemone crabs have matted and there are offspring running around the tank, cute little guys really small copies of the parents, was wondering if the hermits would eat them, they are at present sixe maybe 1/4" long, seem to be doing well, has anyone else had this happen? anyways cool stuff thought i would let people know

never had it happen...never had porcelain crabs...but, it is really rewarding to see stuff breed isnt it? kind of reasures you that you are doing something right

yea, as a side note my pulsing xenia in my 90 gallon is taking over, going to put small LR pieces next to it and seed my 40 gallon and sell it back to my LFS

My snails had baby's but i think that they are slowly dieing off one by one, NEVER had hermits breed!
