I won 500 bluelegged craps on ebay. Will it be too much if I put all of them to my 200g with 300lbs LR? Does it harm to my environment?

Those densities are a bit much. I would put no more than a fifth or so of that in your tank. High densities of hermits cause more problems than they solve.

yes 500 sounds too much for me. As Amphiprion said I will go with less.

If you have snails already they might fight for there shelfs.
The rule of thumb is usualy 1 for every gallon in the tank.

Too funny, 500 craps. Sorry.

It depends on the size really. If they are really small, that should not be that much of a problem. I am not a fan of hermits. You could always put them in and then try to sell them at maybe a local reef club if it really is too many.

They'll get bigger though and start killing stuff if the need arises.

Personally, I would suggest using 50 of them. 100 Tops. I'm more of a snail person when it comes to cleanup crews. You can always trade the rest in to various LFSs or sell them cheap to local reefers.

I had no idea you could buy them on ebay..
I thought ebay did not allow live critters??

Perhaps I will start looking for things like this there in the future.
