Pom poms emeralds and hermits?

Yes, I have two female emeralds, one pom pom, and countless hermits in the same tank. They have all gotten on famously. However, when the hermits get big, they go in a different tank or the back chambers. But not because of the other crabs. They go after snails. Keeping an assortment of empty shells helps stop that. Also, male emeralds tend to be the more aggressive. Both going after the aforementioned snails and some say nipping coral polyps. I've never seen one nip coral. Male vs female can be determined by claw size. Big claws = male.

Ok thanks!
