hermits, snails what's the difference?

[mark]

So I go to my favorite LFS, pick a cleaner shrimp and figure ask for a few hermits then start looking around the store. Bring them all home, put the bags in a dark bucket and start the drip, later toss them in the tank. Now I take a close look at the hermits only to find the LFS guy picked me 3 snails.

difference is hermits will eat leftover food , snails will eat soft algae covering the rocks/glass

Both are good to have in your tank :biggrin:

I know the difference, point was appears LFS guy doesn't.
