the other day i bought 15 bumblebee snails, but to my surprise one of them turned out to be a little hermit crab disguising itself as a bumblebee snail! now here's where I am stumped
I have absolutely no clue what kind of hermit crab he is
he is a very pale blue and his claws are slightly darker than the rest of his body with orange tips
torn between a weird looking blue legged hermit or a dwarf zebra hermit.
he was in the store with a few different types of hermits; blue legged, red legged, orange legged, and scarlet hermit crabs if this helps at all Snapchat-406453011.jpg

I think it’s either like an African dwarf hermit that is about to molt so it’s extra white or a normal blue leg hermit that has a color morph. Either way it’s reef safe.

thank you!!! my biggest concern is it being reef safe so thank you very much! he was chilling on my zoas and not eating them so anxiety eased
