are you talking about the small regular sized ones or the giant ones. Two regular sized ones are not enough for that tank. Maybe you have the big ones
 
What kind of hermit is it? It is very possible that they are hiding in some rock crevices during the day.

Check the tank after you shut the lights out for the night. About an hour after, look in and see if you see them both. My blue legged hermits hide all day long.
