Default Hermit Crabs

Does anyone know of any hermit crabs that wont eat snails?

I've had luck with halloween hermits in the past, but cant seem to find any locally

Almost all hermit crabs are opportunistic eaters about the safest I’ve found are red Scarlett hermits They are fairly docile and would rather eat detritus than live food in my experience. I’ve never had any issues with them in my tank whereas the blue hermits and Halloween hermits have had field days on my snails and smaller crabs in the past.
