HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I was in my local pet shop today and noticed this sign for jumbo hermit crabs( pic to follow) with a different species name than the PP’s (Coenobita clypeatus)..
pagurus bernhardus. From what I found online it’s a hermit crab native of Europe, they looked the same as the others but I didn’t pick any up, they looked to be suffering enough .. never heard of pagurus bernhardus before, wondering if anyone else as?

Pagurus bernhardus is a marine hermit crab, so if by some chance they did have those they would be dead in a week or two being kept like land crabs. My guess is it's just a marketing ploy to somehow justify $30 for a jumbo PP crab that they probably paid $3 wholesale. Jerkwads.

^ Agree... probably just a mis-identified PP (or possibly an e). Don't be surprised if the staff don't know what it is one way or the other.

SMH, marketing ploy sounds about right..
