Hey so bought 10 bumblebees and noticed these 2 are definitely not bumblebee snails!

Can someone ID what type of Hermit and if they are reef safe?

+1 on red tips. I have 25 and they seem reef safe and havent messed with my snails or shrimp. Yet.
 
red legs (same as red tip?)
There relatively reef safe. I think the scarlets are better but Ive had both with no issue
 
I have 4 of them other then bugging my zoas they are fine. They are movers I don't know how well they do make sure you have shells in your tank that are a little larger then what they are using and different colors.
 
+1 for Red tips. IME, I find them to be a middle ground. Not quite as annoying and destructive as the Blue Legs, but more active than the Scarlets. I haven't had any issues with them in my tank.
