    Hey I have them too!!! as soon as the lights start to cool down for the night out they come by the hundreds I am hoping that they are top crown snails because that is what I have been keeping for the most part and they are really good snails. My question to add to this is What is the growth cycle for these guys I have been seeing larger ones but it is a pretty slow process I do not see that much of a difference even over the past few months..

    most of mine come out at night as well like the ceriths and nerites. Blue leggeded hermits are out 24hrs. And i only see Nassarius come out when feeding, i'm thinking this one looks like a nassarius, but i'm not sure.

    Night time is also my favorite time because that's when the tank basically comes alive

    This is a bit off topic, but do you like your blue legged hermits? Do you find them aggressive or anything?

    yea i like them, their the ones that have been doing most of the work at eating the algae on the rocks. Haven't seen any aggression from them either, think their to busy to worry about the other inverts
