So, I got this oyster...

Mt first live oyster turned up today. Ugly beast, but it adds something else in the absence of corals. The problem is that one of the small blue-legged hermits seems intent on eating it. (The oyster has closed up for the moment, but the hermit has found a small damaged area presumably where the oyster was torn from its mooring.

So is the hermit hungry and is this a problem for the oyster? It's not a big loss either way, but I would prefer to keep them both alive.

I know Poseiden's answer to this in advance ( ) but I'm very fond of me hermits. Anyone?

stick a bit of shrimp or someting in for the hermits

There's a plan! I'll crack some brine shrimp open.
