What hermit crab is this?

Can anyone ID this hermit crab for me? I took this picture in Jan 2023 at a petco. This dude was huge, maybe 2-3+ inches. I really want one for a larger tank.

Dardanus megistos? They get to about 11 - 12 inches in size.

Oh wow you're totally right. I don't know how I had that picture for almost 2 years and missed it.

They actually have a personality and will recognize you.
