I have coral, does this change anything? Or nah? I’m using this as my only cleaning crew
The Hermits will crawl on corals causing them to Close, but they do not like to eat corals, just the algae on them, some corals will be at a decline when this happens, I never had any die though.

Thank you sm! Also do you think they’ll eat the mysis that some of my corals drop when eating? Do they eat detritus? Or mainly just algae?
Hermit crabs (and other crabs) are omnivores, so they'll eat detritus and algae. They'll likely take mysis or other fish/LPS foods quite happily.
