I bought the recommended reef custodian package from J&L for my 28 gallon when I fired it up. I am constantly finding dead hermits and I think I am down to about half of the critters I started with or less. There is lots of algae in the tank of all kinds and yet the hermits seem to prefer killing each other to eating algae.

MOST hermits are useless with Algae, especially if there are other things to eat in the tank like each other.
I like hermits cuz they are funny to watch, but for real natural algae control, go with snails all the way. Scarlett hermits and Zebra/left handeds seem to be the most interested in greens (scarletts especially) but even they are predatory at times. Add a couple hertmits, maybe 1 or 2 in a 28 to eat extra food and detritus but other than that, you're wasting money. IMO of course.
