How many snails and hermits????

[gary1328]

Just wandering how many snails and hermits you guys have in your tanks.
(Don't forget to mention your size tank)
I see all of these awesome reef aquarium pictures and never notice any snails or crabs in the pictures.
I have a 125 gallon with about 100 blue legged hermits and about 40 turbo snails.

I have a 125 reef with:
~100 nass. snails
40 Cerith snails
30 turbo snails
2 mexican turbo snails
10 Super Tongan nass. snails
1 red legged hermit crab
10 mini blue legged hermit crabs
1 brittle star
2 pepermint shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
1 fire shrimp
Im low on the hermits because they usually eat snails just to get a different shell, and id rather have snails than hermits since they seem to do a better job cleaning,

6ft 100gallon
11 nassarius snails (had 12 until one blue legged hermit decided it liked the shell)
12 cerith snails
4 Margarita snails
2 Astrea snails
4 blue legged hermits and four too many
Not that many but they do a great job on the sand, glass and rocks. I would be happy with just nassarius and cerith.

12 Gallon:
2 Margarita
2 Astrea
1 Nassarius
2 Blue Legged Hermits
1 Red Legged Hermit
I had another red hermit and another nassarius but last month the red legged decided he liked the nass shell, killed the snail, decided he didn't like the shell, and sat shell-less in front of half a dozen shells that were plenty big and died from exposure....
I plan on picking up a couple more Margarita and maybe another Nassarius or two this weekend.

55 gallon. i have some sort of hermit crab that my lfs sold me. i have never seen them anywhere else. store or internet. i don't know what they are called. they are black and yellow stripped. they are the best scavaging hermits i have ever had. i went with some blue legged, scarlets, and Hawaiian hermits, but these do much better. they fight fish for food. i usually feed them a small piece of shrimp when i am feeding my eel.
i wish i knew what they were called. sorry.
