    I have one that has gray legs with reddish orange spots. If thats the same they are reef safe....I only have the one though. He is in a conch shell about 2 inches long. I think he is getting ready to move into an even larger shell...he has been rolling the larger shell around like he did when he moved into this one.....time to pitch him....

    I don't like large hermits period. If they are big enough to see the color, they are too big=)

    Mine are all red and they do just dandy...one of them just moved into a big empty mexican turbo shell so now he thinks he is a hoss, lol. The funny thing though is he can barely even drag the shell around the tank but he refuses to leave it.
