Florida white leg hermit crabs

[Qsilver23t]

Found a bunch of these white legged hermit crabs at Ponce Inlet a couple weeks ago. They seem to be very fast and went to work quickly. Some we found were too large for the tank. Does anybody else have experience with these hermits in their reef tank?

I had one that was shipped to me on accident that lived in my tank for a few years, never bothered anything at all.

I've had a few from the jersey shore and they sure are cool buy seems either tank water is too warm or their metabolism is too fast they don't seem to live long
