Hermit Crab Stowaway

[HawkeyeDJ]

So yesterday at the LFS they were having a sale on snails, and I bought several (20) turns out one of my Margarita snails is actually a hermit crab. Should I let him be or get rid of him? I understand that if I intend to keep him, I'll need a variety of larger shells for him to use. Other than that, are these crabs worthwhile?

Do you have a pic of crab to determine if good or bad?
I would guess its a blue leg or red leg hermit as margarita shells are small

As far as I can tell, the legs are dark, probably blue (?) I'll see if I can get a shot of it soon.
