    Hi Macca
    This is a pic of that hermit I was on about,he is in the sump at the moment because I daren't put him in with the others. I'm not sure where he came from because I've found my big green legged hermit and he is fine with the little ones but this one looks like he has black legs to me.

    Sorry the pic is crap but only had camera phone and he doesn't stay in one place very long

    Cheers
    Howie

    maybe he's outgrown his shell? stick some larger ones in for him.
