A while back I got rid of all my hermits 
mainly They were getting really big, and I thought eating all my snails
well I noticed some algae creeping up, and decided to try some dwarfs again.....and they do a great job at nooks and crannies in the rocks...YES, I think they may make a snack of a snail or 2, BUT....when I place orders, I just add a few snails here and there
SOOOO IMO a few hermits are beneficial

Well, all the center portion of sand is now out. I had to move a lot of rock around to get it all. Now its time to add the new. Goodness, I got my back hurting now lol. Oh, and I really really made the clowns mad when messing around the anemone, I would suction out the sand and they would flip more at me.

My thinking exactly! Do you think 15-20 is enough for a 180g?
I would say 5 is enough hermits, lol. I don't like hermit crabs. Over the years I've come to despise them.

Lol I have like 15 in my 72. Along with my 20 snails. I think snail population will go down though.

Thanks Sip! Well, just got back from the lfs. I went for dwarf blue legged hermits and they were not sure they had any, but ended up finding five. BUT after I got home and started acclimating them, one big one is a red hermit. SO, big red, haha, went into the 10g nano. That leaves me only 4 blue legged for now to put into the 180. Seth, I guess you'll like that number lol.

LOL. I appreciate that. I only needed a little bit. It normally grows like weeds for me. I can't believe I had to actually buy some lol. I would trim mine weekly before. Anyway, my hubby is to blame about this tank still existing. I am still not convinced that it shouldn't be torn down, but time will tell. I am testing my nitrates right now and gonna see if another water change is in order. This is the stuff I didn't want to do anymore. (It is a lot of extra work for me alone to do)

If this tank survives this, I would really like to add some new colorful corals, I am sick of seeing the same stuff/colors. However, I am gonna set up a very strict qt procedure and tank. No way will I let this happen again! Once the 20g nano is up and running, I will turn the current 10g into a frag/qt tank. I have all the extra stuff too. It sucks that I had this going on and didn't make it to the swap!!
