I haven't seen Opae Ula go crazy over it, it's more like a nibble and leave. I haven't seen the hermit crab eat its own, but usually what is left over is the legs so I think Opae Ula eats it slowly.

Here is another video of one without a shell and it getting back in. Kinda blurry a little in the beginning since I never seen it out of a shell and hurried for a video of it.

great video!, pretty fetching that its blurred out when he hasn't got a shell on to hide its modesty

I once had land Hermit Crabs and they were delightful and interesting pets. The aquatic ones seem to be just the same.

Nice! And the Opae Ula dig it too?

[opae ula related]

Yup, Opae Ula loves it.
Note, not to get the Hawaiian Reef Hermit Crab with one arm bigger than the other. Those don't live too long in a brackish tank from my experience.
