Blue Legged Hermits, Good? Bad? Post your opinion

[Trigs]

What are your thoughts on blue legged hermits in a reef tank?

I have them.
I like the little things but they can do damage to any lps that you target feed because they like to pull the food right out of their mouths. Other then that they have never caused me any problems

if youre going to have a hermit, these are the ones. Pretty docile, will also eat hair algae when hungry enough, and they stay small.

Blue leg hermits are interesting creatures but I've cleared them from my tank as I find the snails do a much more effective job. Plus, they've dined on enough of my precious snails such that I was forced to make a decision to send them packing.
