Hello,


in the beginning of my tank i bought some hermit crabs.
They were supposed to be ble legged hermits.

but one of them got bigger then the others.
I caught him today trying to eat the sheath of some tube worms.

I think it maybe could be a thin stripe hermit, but his stripes look thicker.

Thanks for the help.

 
It looks like a thin striped to me also. My son got one mistakenly with a batch of blue legs.

I looked for some other variants and I think/hope it is a Clibanarius antillensis.
