BIG ditto on Tom's post,,,see my experience/comments on the sponsors forum pertaining to this..
you might think their hermits are tiny,,,but they did wonders for my tank, started munching, and cleaning up my LR as soon as they hit the substrate,,and still find spots every day that are getting cleaned .
i think Keys Critters is having a sale to boot,,,,
best $$ i spent inna long time! 
one of the best parts about their stuff is: they carry the CORRECT species of clean up crew to do the job!

you might try getting a group order together, get some molluscs in general, maybe some Actrea snails, some Ceriths for the sandbed and cukes as well...
Heh!
...molluscs and Ceriths and Cukes, OH MY!!!

I'm guessing if you send them a email with a list of what you want, they'll wave the minimum order.

I actually did send them an email and this was the response.
"Mark,
Thank you. Send a list of what you're wanting and we'll see what we can do.
Your truly
J. George"
So, I think I will.

Scarlet's....Scarlet's....OHHH Spanky, can you put some additional light on this?
IMO There is a big difference in the scarlet's and the mexican red leg. the mexican red leg do tend to get agressive and eat your snails. where as the scarlets are totally (as totally as you can get) reef safe.
