This guy is growing. Wondering if it is a killer as I did find scarlet hermit legs near his den. Is it possible to get an ID with this shot? TIA

Not a great photo.. better to help id positively, but if its what I suspect, definitely foe. Bobbit worm. Definitely need a better photo to confirm

It’s actually some type of crab. I tried to edit the photo so it stands out more but the little guy has great camouflage. You can see his claw at the bottom of the illuminated part of this photo and his legs at the top.

Easier to see now yes, but still not a great pic. Body shape is like that of friend, but the claw, what I can see of it, says foe..
