Hermit crab ID - red legs one big claw

[SeahawkMom]

I’ve had this hermit crab in my saltwater tank for 5 years that got mixed in with a cleaning crew batch I purchased. He’s one of my favorites to watch with larger size and its crazy eyes. He’s in about a 1” turbo snail shell, and I think need to get a bigger shell for him soon. Any idea what kind of hermit crab this might be? He’s got a cool huge left claw that’s half purple and white, red legs with a touch of black streaks on them. Thanks in advance for any guesses.

It's called a Left Handed Hermit Crab.

On Reefcleaners I think it may be this one - Blue Eyed Hermit! The white tips on the red legs and blue eyes in orange stems, and big left claw match mine. Thank you for your help!
