Aptasia eating Hermit Crab

[supaboy1981]

Dardanus megistos (red legged hermits) are written to eat aptasia. Does any one have any experience with this?? Are they the same as scarlet reef hermits?? Are they usually found in LFS around?? I have seen these guys labeled as red legged hermits, scarlet hermits, white spot hermits and a few others.

Although I have no experience w/ these animals, a quick google search shows that they aren't the small reef safe scarlets. They're much, much bigger- and likely not reef safe.

The article says differently

And then I read wet web media and it says it will eat any fish it can get its claws on.
