Lately, my hermit crabs have been climbing out onto my Montis and just hanging out. Not in a group, just one at a time.  I've been watching them closely to make sure they are not up to any mischief, and I am pretty sure they are just sitting there, but they will stay there for hours.  The Montis look the same as always.
 
Anybody have any idea what this is all about?

Oh, I brought this up because, after reading about the Nudibranches that ate Montis, I started to worry that that's what was going on with the hermits. I don't think they are eating the Montis, but it's definitely abnormal behavior for them.
