So far my GSP's cannot figure out the hermit crabs living with them. I guess they cannot get inside the shells they hide in when disturbed. We will see what happens as my GSP's get older though.

Mine lasted about 6 months, before they finally got him.

Was he very big? Do you think one the size of your fist would get eaten?

Yes, he was that big. Used to perch up high on a rock & swing his claws at the puffers, like Godzilla.
