My hermits went on a rampage last night and ate a bunch of stuff including snails, feather duster worms, and maybe even my juvenile clownfish.
The clown had been resting on the bottom every once in a while, and I figured he may be sick, but I checked all levels and they appeared to be within the acceptable range (I did a water change just in case). Also when you would feed him or he would get interested in something, he would swim as normal. Eventually I chalked it up to odd clown behavior which I have read about before.
But then this morning there were 10 hermits on it, eating it. I wouldn't have recognized it but for one orange and white fin sticking out of the pile. I took it out, but my question is, could the hermits have ambushed it in the night? Or did it simply die and they ate it. I guess there's no way of knowing unless someone knows if hermits never attack fish, then by process of elimination we would know.
Just strange, that's all. 8O
