Question
Will my scarlet hermit crab be compatiblw with a clownfish, firefish, green chromis, mushroom corals, and zooanthid polyp corals? Thanks

Answer
Hey Nick,
Yes to all... generally... but watch the hermits around the corals. They have been known to eat/damage mushrooms and zooanthid polyps. It's not a no, but you have to watch him and be prepared to remove him if he starts doing damage. I have several that bother nothing and you rarely see them and one that had to be removed from my reef.
