| Hi Reefbuzz,
Welcome to TR!
As far as the hermits go, I don't believe that you must keep them to have a clean or successful tank. However, I like to watch them so I keep them. I know that a lot of folks have issues with them (many of which may just stem from them doing their job) and don't keep them.
