hi, i'd like to know if i have hermit crabs in my tank would a frogfish eat it? since they're such voracious eaters.

and since i'm asking about hermit crabs, what other clean up crew would a frogfish eat? like snails, urchins, seastars, etc.

Snails, starfishes, sea urchins should be safe. Do keep your froggy well-fed.

I think other than fishes and prawns that can fit into it's mouth,the rest should be fine...

Do note that froggies can take on prey their own size.

thanks for the input guys, i saw some videos on youtube when ppl were feeding their frogfish, and occasionally i would see a hermit crab running around in the back ground so i just wanted to confirm they wouldn't eat em.

can't imagine what would happen if a frogfish swallowed an urchin, ouch.
