Welcome to a world of wonderment and addiction, mate> Its a live rock system. I have checked the water for ammonia, nitrite, PH and salinity, all of which turned out fine but just to be on the safe side I also took a sample of the water to my local marine specialist and again it tested fine. <Very good. I always use a few test sources just to calibrate my own findings> So I bought 5 hermits and 4 snails to help clear the tank of the algal growth that had covered the rocks, glass and bottom of the tank. <OK> About 2 hours after I had introduced them I checked on them and 3 of the snails were almost dead on the bottom with the other 2 still on the glass but very weak. <Did you acclimate?? Should do so over a long period of time if you ask me. Sometimes a huge difference in water quality between your tank and the dealers. The process for inverts from a dealer to my tank can take up to 2 hours and even more in extreme cases (starfish)> Also 3 of the hermits were hanging out of their shells looking dead and the others again weren’t moving around and looked very ill. <Interesting> I immediately took the hermits out of the tank and they seemed to recover a little in the air. <depending on what hermits may have been necessary. Some hermits work intertidal areas meaning they sometimes need a little air from time to time> The tank has a red algal growth covering the rocks that looks like velvet. <Sounds like Cyano-bacteria. See here: > Could this be the problem or is <a href=\"https:\/\/datingranking.net\/nl\/willow-overzicht\/\">willow-bezoekers<\/a> something else causing these animals to die? <It is A problem, but not in the cause of death in your hermits and snails. Check the posted links for more information regarding bacteria-bacteria. As far as cause of death for your inverts I couldn't say. If parameters are all in check, try a longer acclimation time. Make sure you are getting quality livestock by watching the animals making sure they are active and have been in store for awhile. (not a good idea to new arrived shipments from a dealer) Quarantine if possible. -Paul><\/p>\n<h2>Keep you to definitely at heart with all your own additions -Paul> Oh and you may thanks for replying<\/h2>\n<p>Dying hermits – The only thing I knew about acclimating was to leave the tank in the bag for a while. Though I have just been informed about slowly adding small amounts of tank water into the bag. The hermits are a reef species so I don’t know if they require air but they didn’t have any in the suppliers tank. <you would be surprised! Many species of hermits require a spot to grab some air. Not all, but again, there are a great many who can take advantage or air. In any event, not \"THE\" issue here in my opinion.> The animals had been at the dealer at least a week. <Very good. I think the issue here was that your acclimation procedure was improper for these animals. There is likely a disparaging parameter between your reef water and the dealer holding water. <No problem.><\/p>\n<h2>Very not used to the latest craft<\/h2>\n<p>Hermit Crabs My daughter and I found some hermit crabs off the shore of Biloxi, MS.
