Hermit Crabs

There are about 3 species of hermit crabs I want to choose from...

there is..

dwarf zebra hermit crab
scarlet reef hermit crab
and
dwarf blue leg hermit crab

I really like the pattern on the zebra hermit, but do they all do pretty much do the same thing?
Which one is most agressive/least?

I only have scarlets and they are very peaceful. I had a blue leg a while back but have not seen him in a while.

i use whatever is on sale..

they say dont mix reds and blues....

blues are generally cheaper, but they do kill , then hijack shells of snails. but not enough to get rid of them...
