Looking at getting some new maxima clams and was wondering if I should remove the scarlet reef and blue leg hermits that are in my tank? Or if the clams are healthy should I be okay?
So please help me decide keep em or evict em?

The last clam I bought that I woke up to getting devoured was unhealthy .
