normal turbo snails r known to topple corals but r they make good reef janitors. hermit crabs will look for a new refuge shell when they grow out of the shells they r in, therefore it is is quite possible for the hermits to hunt for a new refuge if need be. 1 solution is to add some variety of empty shells into ur tank.
