I was discouraged from keeping blue-legged hermits in my tank but as I had already introduced them I figured I'd keep them anyway. Left plenty of empty shells for them to pick-n-choose and prevent/limit feuding. Oddly enough I haven't seen anything in their behavior that would merit not keeping them in an aquarium. They may not be as effective cleaners as I thought they would be but they're still interesting to watch. I've only had two hermit deaths and both came by the hands of my cleaner shrimp who are far more ruthless than the hermits are.
