IME the best and most gentlest of Hermits are the Scarlet Legged Hermits aka Red Legged Hermit. Great little sand sifters, have never bothered my corals or snails. Mainly nocturnal. Just peaceful lil buggers [emoji7]

The small hermits are mostly harmless imho. I'd the same goes for shrimp. In their travels they'll walk on corals, pick at them here and there, but I've never seen any actual damage caused by them. My shrimp are on my corals all the time without damage.
