Hermit crabs?

[redsurfer]

So I just set up my tank that was running from the guy i bought it from and there was all these snails (all of which i got rid of because of this forum) but i also have about 10 little hermit crabs in small shells. I was wondering if these need to be evacuated also?
thanks

I'm confused as to why you ditched your snails...

But no. Leave the hermits.

Yea, I'm curious who told you to get rid of all the snails? And I agree keep the hermits.

I would also leave the hermits and also get some snails back in..here is a great place to get them from.. ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Home discount for being livingreef member.. tell him the tank and he can work a package up for you ..

I saw pics of the same snails on here and every one was saying that they were bad news...

 

[Reef Nutz]

Got a picture of them? Or do you know the name?

Oh! He's talking about the vermatid snails.

Carry on then.
