Red legged "Hairy hermits? Well there are scarlet legged hermit crabs which are great algae cleaners etc, but there are also the bigger hermits which will eat everything, I doubt they are reef safe. King Ed has both. Peppermint shrimp are a risk in my opinion, they can be great in a reef or they may eat polyps etc. I've had them in my reef and not had any trouble but then I moved some stuff around and they started eating some star polyps and a montipora digitata. Nice thing about Peppermint shrimp is that they spawn all the time if you've got more than one, and all those little shrimp larvae add alot of natural food to the aquarium.
