Hey guys! I got a hermit crab a few days ago and, if there are any hermit experts maybe you can help me get the right ID. It has long hairs in the legs, both claws appear to be the same size, and the claws are brown with yellow spots. Here are a couple of pictures.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! It kinda looks like it from some angles but from some others not so much. Maybe I'm being too picky? hahaha. Thanks!
 
The claw pattern matches Clibinarius tricolor but he leg coloration is off- Clibanarius englaucus? seems like its in that complex at least.
 
Looks like a blue eyed or a zebra.

Thanks! The claw did look alot like you said. I narrowed it to the Cilbanarius Antillensis. Totally sure, as the claws, antennae and lines in the legs match. They are just like my hermits. Thanks a bunch!

Resolved, its a Cilbanarius Antillensis (dont know if it has a "street" name though). Thanks everyone for chipping in! Now I know exactly what it is.
