    IME, hermits are annoying if you plan on keeping LPS coral... I got rid of them bc they kept taking all the meat I'd give the coral.

    you can mix any peaceful hermit. generally al cuc (especially shrimp) will steal if they lack food. you can mix red legs, blue legs, scarlett reef, halloween and several others. just dont do too many.
