I would put a vote in for Rugosus. Mine is active both day and night, and they stay relatively small so aren't as likely to need an enormous enclosure. Really nice hermit crabs.
Brevimanus are the largest species!

Hmm since you are indonesian, like me, I suggest you too keep small hermit crabs since they are more adaptable to the change of environment. For jenisnya, you can choose which are the most suitable or kelomang that you like. Dont forget juga ya kalo mau pelihara dont be too much as it can be overpopulate your tank.

Welcome
I hear lots of love for rugies. That's what I would pick if stores had variety
