Btw, hermits are kind of reef-safe. They can cause troubles, and many people either aren't aware or think their pro are better than their cons.

I sure wish they would have asked me questions. Although they did sell me the tank, and knew it had just finished cycling, and that I wanted a recommendation on what should be the 1st new entry to the tank. I was definately naive, I trusted they knew what I should do next and I regret it.

On a positive note. I put in some seaweed this afternoon in case the snails were hungry. Just took a look at my tank and three hermits have appeared. They are barely moving, one is on the seaweed eating(yeahhhh)
The other two are getting closer very slowly. I tried to help one to get closer and that spooked him ( it made a weak attempt at finding a hiding spot),so I think I better leave them alone.

If any of them live I will keep a close eye on them to see if they leave my corals alone.
