Just curious what kind this is. I usually don't see them unless I come back after lights out. I have quite a few hermits but no idea what kind. I know I have a blue legged somewhere in there.

looks like a Halloween hermit crab....could be wrong though....i have one and it's orange with some black stripes
 
Defanitly not a holloween. Looks to me like one of the large common hermits. Not sure the type.
 
He looks pretty normal. White stripes on his legs. I'll keep looking. :)
 
They actually call them Striped Leg Hermit Crabs, of course not the scientific name, sometimes called Thin Striped.

I have heard they can get large, opportunistic eaters.
 
Cool! I checked last night and I have some dwarf blue legged ones, at least 1 scarlet one and I THINK I might actually have a Halloween one in there. [emoji38]
