is 1.024 too high for fish or would they be more comfortable at a lower level? what about snails and hermits?

Specific gravity is just a tool to determint Salinity. Given the temp of the water and the S.G. you can determine Salinity. The Salinity should be around 35ppt for most reefs, 37 - 39ppt for Red Sea biotope tanks.
E.g. My salinity is about 35ppt at a s.g. of 1.025 and a temp of 83F.

fish can live at lower salintiy then inverts. 1.024 is fine. watch you fish and inverts, they'll tell you if something is wrong.
