I have a yellow tang in my 75 gal tank along with about a half dozen hermits and one emerald crab. I have read that as many as a hermit per gallon is best. That seems like a lot. Also, the tang doesn't seem to be too interested in the hair algae, though it is constantly grazing the live rock. Should I look for specific hermits that are bigger hair algae cosumers than other types of hermits?

I plan on getting another dozen or two hermits this weekend, so I'd appreciate any more advice. Thanks.

Small hermits will clean it up, as well as emerald crabs. If your tank is large enough, a yellow tang will do a good job, as well as a lawnmower blennie.
