ID dwarf hermit crab

[Zachary2008]

I’m new to aquariums, and a friend who has been in the hobby awhile gave me a hermit crab. I can’t decide exactly what type it is.
admittedly not the best photo, will post more if I can get one

Too dark/not enough clarity. Are the legs scarlet red?

Dark red, almost brown

Except for the very ends, which are scarlet. And the face is blue

Dark red, almost brown

I've got about a dozen different types in my tanks and it doesn't resemble any of them (arguably I don't have the best image for comparison). It appears to be in a conch shell so I'm guessing it's a fair size?

Does this more closely resemble it? This is a red leg (not scarlet) hermit crab. If so, reef safe and an excellent algae eater and addition to your cleanup crew.

That’s it exactly
