And does anyone know about hermit crabs?

Emerald crabs are mostly peaceful if they get enough food, so always make sure of that. If not, they will succumb to eating other inverts and small fish and whatnots.

There great, just keep them well fed. They'll scavenge any good. The min I would go with is 14

What's the point of having crabs to clean up the tank if you have to add food just for them?
You are increasing the bio load for crabs?

I started with 10 blue legged hermit I might have 2-3 now .
They are constantly fighting and pulling each other out if their shells ,
I tried having a lot of empty shells for them to move into but that didn't help

You could add an urchin if you have enough coralline algae or a banded serpent starfish
