My LFS tells me they mainly stock "janitor hermits" and "white socked, black legged hermits". I can't find definitive photos of either but the dwarf zebra hermit sounds​ like it could be the white socked...has anyone heard of these types? If so it would be great to see pics!

Thanks guys.

I've never heard of those names before, but the link below might help.

My suggestion is get neither of them and go with snails instead.

If your dead set on having hermit crabs in your tank you might want to stick with the Scarlet hermit crabs. These aren't as aggressive as some of the others out there on the market and they do a pretty god job of picking up the scraps so to say.

But my LFS only really gets the ones I've mentioned in... however they are saying that these ones are good at getting algae and whatnot and that they don't grow as big as some of the others.
