I originally bought some regular red legged hermits. They completely wiped out all the margarita snails I bought.
Now I stick to Left-handed or blue-legged hermits. They are smaller and seem to be less dangerous.
I also stick with Astrea snails (or similar) for algae cleaning, etc because their shell design allows them to escape inside from hermits.
I currently have 6 red-legged hermits, 15 blue-legged hermits, 6 left-handed hermits, 1 mexican Turbo snail, 3 Black spiny snails, 15 Astrea snails, lots of stomatella snails, 2 cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, and 2 sexy shrimp
