Please, help to ID this crab - I bought snails for CUC and found one imposter

[Obriy]

I've bought snail-only CUC package from ReefCleaners and received this as a bonus:

Are you asking for ID? I'd ask John at ReefCleaners. Funny hermit, though!

Yes, I'm trying to ID this little guy.

I see this reply a lot. Sometimes just giving the video time to fully upload helps. But sometimes people definitely do have an issue, and it's likely browser or software related.

I am currently on a Linux based laptop, and I typically have to download the OP's file, and play it that way. But that's just me. For most users using Windows or a Mac, just give these new posts a bit more time.

For me, and again, I'm using an unusual Operating System, but when I see your videos as posted now, I can see a slider bar, and nothing else. Maybe it will load fully in time.

Suggestion: most reefers here at R2R suggest that you first upload your videos to YouTube (which you can join for free) and then link back to your videos here on R2R.

I hope that helps!

How about now? Hopefully, Youtube video will work.

That’ll work. You just have to set it to unlisted. It’s just on private right now.

For me, that's showing as "private". You may have to adjust your settings.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Youtube. This is the correct link to a public video:

^That did it!

clibanarius species, White leg hermit?

 

[Obriy]

I wander if it is reef-safe?

Its a hermit so as long as it has food and available empty shells they'll be completely fine. I like to remove empty shells they don't use and add different ones every month or so. Had 0 issue with hermits using that method.

It’s a reef-safe hermit crab from the mix that ReefCleaners offers, but its weird that they sent it because hermits do sometimes go after snails.

It got into my shipment by accident. I ordered a package with Dwarf Ceriths and it was in one of their shell.

I once ordered 50 dwarf ceriths from them and ~30 where these crabs lol

I tried to sift them out and gave them all to my LFS but 1 managed to make it in my tank. Seems a reasonable citizen, though I couldn't have handled 30!
