dude, go to Salty Fin and buy some Turbos snails, They have them there for $1.50 each. They help out alot with hair algae. As long as the hermits have plenty of empty shells to try on and something to eat, they will leave your snails alone. I am a firm believer in a large and diverse Clean up crew. Hermits will stop eating algae if they find meaty food ie when you feed the fish. Snails feed strictly on algae.
