Definitely get rid of the crab, snails are much more helpful than a single hermit crab.

The snail eggs won't survive if you have anything living in your tank. They make a tasty snack for so many animals. Like others have said, you can try scraping them off and sequestering them so that no one can predate on them.

Re: My 45

the will be fine in there, just make sure you secure them in the tank so they dont get sucked through overflows

Re: My 45

Sorry for your loss. Do you have eggcrate or something on top of the tank?

Re: My 45

I dont have anything on the top of my tank, but I thought that if he was gonna jump, he would have jumped the first or 2 day. I ded end up getting a very big piece of suncoral for free. It is very good looking

Re: My 45

Fish are unpredictable, they can jump any time.

I hope you researched the sun coral. Its polyps need to be handfed every day or every other day since it's non-photosynthetic. And it does best in the shade. Post pics!

Re: My 45

I have done months of research trying to find a good deal on one. I will take a pic in a sec. How long before i will open up after smelling food? I have tried 2 times already. maybe it needs to get used to my tank. BTW It has about 30-40 heads on it, 2/3 orange, 1/3 Yellow

Re: My 45

Looks like it will be a nice piece when it opens, congrats!

Give it several days to a week to acclimate to your tank. If it doesn't start opening up, there's not much you can do for it, since that's how it needs to feed. If it was open when you purchased it, just be patient with it and give it time to adjust to its new setting.
