blue legged hermits

[Islank]

Background: My tank is five weeks old.
I added some hermits and snails last week. My question is how do I feed the hermits. I read that I can offer a algae sheet every other day, would I just attach it to a clip and place it on the bottom of the glass? I'm trying to wait at least eight weeks before I add a fish, so theres no extra food for them to eat.

that is what i do ...(not so often tho...or just a little bit) they will eat it...plus they like lancefish, which i clip for them as a treat (just part of one, not a whole one)

You can take whatever food you want to feed anf rubberband it to a small piece of LR and place it on the bottom where the hermits can get to it, you can also easily remove it if you feed too much.

Through some pellets in the tank...They sink to the bottom and the hermits will eat them

Now that I think about it I have some pellets that were made for feeding hermits. One or two of them a day should be fine. The sanils can eat whatever is leftover and they will also graze on algaes as they grow.
