hermit crabs

You should be fine i have all of those in my tank and have done for years, as long as there is enough space and food for everyone, and spare shells for the crabs to grow into

Scarlet hermits are fine, IMO stay away from the blue legged ones.

Blue legs are ok, it is just that they will kill your snails for their shell as they grow. Personally, the scarlet reefs are sweet but the Electric Blue and Halloween hermits are my favorite.

+1 on the Electric Blue and Halloween. That being said, my halloween killed my conch for its shell. Apparently the replacement shells I had provided for it weren't good enough.
