So I picked up some extra shells from the Lfs for my red legged hermit to give him some options to live in and when I threw this one in to my surprise some legs popped out… anyone know what type he his?? Black legs with yellow spots and yellow claws??? Got such a fright when I seen him come out of the shell I mean the guy at the shop just handed the shells to me…

Sounds like a yellow tip hermit, but need pictures to verify.
