USA,
what is the best type of food to feed to blue legged hermit crabs?
 
Whatever you feed your fish... BLue legs are straight up omnivores. They eat just about anything that winds up on the substrate or rockwork. There more of a fire and forget type creature.
 
I dont have any fish yet, so until I get one, shoudl I just get fish flakes and put some in?
 
If you have a decent amount of brown diatom algae, I'd let them eat that first :) Otherwise get some sinking pellets or just a little frozen food (brine, mysis, etc)
 
this is gonna sound like a smart ass answer...but your snails. I have found that when my hermits get hungry, or just want a bigger shell, they harass and kill a snail. Eat it. And move in. I had planned to avoid hermits in my next tank.
