Meet Cocoa
Just rescued this very special little hermie from the pet store. He is very fast. I’ve never seen a hermit crab move so fast. He is a brownish color. If anybody could help me identify his species I would appreciate it.

Cute crab. I may be wrong, but I'm getting E or ruggie vibes from him. Could you get another pic of it in the shell?

Re: Meet Cocoa
I think abd pretty sure its an E based on eye shape as well as the colouration that kinda peaking out through the BP.
Capives tebd to have rounded eyes if I'm not mistaken.
@wodesorel would be a good person to reach out to, abd would get her thoughts on the matter as she has a ruggie and kept Es in the past.

Re: Meet Cocoa
I would say E as well. Eye shape and leg plumpness, also that kind of tonna shell is common for Es.

Re: Meet Cocoa
Hahaha. Lesson learned: Never ask Curly to help with crab ID. I have only ever seen PPs in person! LOL!

Re: Meet Cocoa
It sounds right becuase Cocoa is so active and he is in a long shell. And his eyes match the description of the E’s. He just the cutest! I love this kittle guy!

Haha, don't worry. I'm not any better, I can spot a PP, aussie, Eand straw with ease, but after that its mostly a case of which shoe fits better.curlysister wrote:Hahaha. Lesson learned: Never ask Curly to help with crab ID. I have only ever seen PPs in person! LOL!

Yep, definitely an E. When I had three species they were always the fastest and the most outgoing.
7 Purple Pinchers in a 125 Gallon Terrarium: Sebastian (F) - 1 Molt, Midnight (F) - 1 Molt, Red (M) - 1 Molt, Jello (?) - 1 Molt, Ninja (M) - 1 Molt, Shelly (M) - 1 Molt, & Tiny (?) - 1 Molt
Formerly had 40 crabs consisting of Es, PPs, & Straws from 2004 to 2010.
