I recently got a order of Dwarf Cerith Snails and I noticed that one of them was a hermit crab. I have 3 hermit crabs already in my tank and want to know if anyone can identify what kind this is. Thanks in advance I know the picture isn’t the best because it’s back is turned around.

most crabs just grab whatever free shell is laying around, so shell doesn't seem like much of an indication, there's really only 2 common cuc crabs ones a red legged and ones a blue legged, that would be the deciding thing is leg color, reds are ******s and blues and old people type of ******s haha hopefully a blue, either way im about done with my hermits they mess up stuff over and over im switching to snails hope this helps

So it finally turned around and I got a good look at it. It’s a blue hermit crab. It’s back legs are white though the rest the are blue.
