This little guy was in a bag of hermits I ordered. He's about 1-2cm across. His front claws are pretty long comparatively and very symetrical. Maybe a porcelain crab? Does not look like the mithrax that came in a separate bag.

I definitely first thought porcelain crab, but it is hard to tell in this picture. There are different species that look similar, but this one definitely seems to fit the same category as the commonly-called "porcelain" crab.![]()

This term is used for a common name for several different types of crabs, but I think the crab in question does not seem to me to match the most common "Sally Lightfoot" crab Percnon gibbesi. I've got 2 in my work desk system about 3" across the legs. This species looks much more spider-like with longer, thinner legs and smaller front claws than the crab in question pictured above.“Sally lightfoot”
