You probably should have a few empties for them, but I've never bothered with it. I generally order my critters on-line as my LFS has obscenely high prices on livestock, and I figure not everyone will survive the trip, so the dead one will leave their shells for the hermits.

Do you have test kits?
If not, buy some and make sure you water chemistry reads zero for ammonia and nitrite. See what your nitrate level is. If your ammonia and nitrite are zero, you can add a few more hermits, snails, or one or two fish.
Don't go for the anemone just yet. Wait until you are very comfortable doing water changes and maintaining your water chemistry.
Read everything you can about the animals you want to keep before you purchase them to make sure you can provide an environment in which they can thrive.
Do searches on here and read the Archives & FAQ.
Good luck!

You can leave your lunar lights or 24/7, it won't hurt them and they will not burn out. Buy a digital timer for your main lights. It is essential for the health of your fish and corals to get them used to a consistent cycle of lighting. Set it for around 12 hours of light per day.

I dont think I would be happy if i was a clown for a living .... something tells me that if you became a clown for a you didnt go down the right route somewhere and life didnt turn out the way you wanted it to
