Comparing blaster guns and lightsabers. The design and workmanship on the lightsabers are very detailed as compared the the blaster guns. Guns do not have a lot of details and it's colour is very dull. I would say I very much prefer to collect Lightsabers...

They require two types of water - Fresh & Salt. Always provide two water dish for them.
Water given must be de-chlorinated. Change daily.
Use salt mix that is for Marine Aquarium, do not use Table Salt.
Hermits are extremely sensitive to metals. Make sure there is NO METAL contents in your tank.
Bathing them once a week is enough, too much will stress them. Water must be de-chlorinated, add a little salt. Do not immerse them totally into water.
Keeping a variety of empty shells for your hermits to chose from. This also lowers the chances of shell fights between hermits.
