My hermits don't bother the Tiger Conch in my tank. The hermits behave as long as there is ample food in the tank. When they were hungry, they would pick on the smaller snails: nerites, ceriths.

I had 2 tiger conchs in with 30 or so hermits. Never a issue. My Harlequin shrimp did go rogue and ate both of them.
