Im still quite new to this hobby and i am sure there will be lots of 1st's but I had one yesterday and I feel like sharing it.
Im sitting watching my tank just after my lights start coming. While doing my usual inspections I see that one of the heads of my candy cane has a huge brown spot where its mouth is. I mean this thing looked like a large brown piece of stone about 1/4 in across where its mouth was.
I am quite worried so i take out my turkey baster and start giving it a little squirt. Much to my relief and amazement the front part of the body from a hermit comes out, legs and all!
I just had no idea they could put that much in their mouths! I imagine that the molted husk floated by in the early hours of the morning when it had its feeders out, and it grabbed hold.
Thats all, I am still amazed and wish that i had taken some pics.
