HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hey everyone! I ended up with a new guy last night, and I'm noticing that he is MUCH darker than any of my others.

Hes a big guy, too. His shell is nearly the size of a racquetball, and he looks like he's ready for a bigger house.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is he a normal PP? Or something else?

Thanks so much!

Well it’s hard to tell by the picture quality. Can you get a closer one. I understand if you can’t it just would help.

I'll try to get one tomorrow when he comes out, my cameras have swapped to night vision, and he's shy lol

By looking at the eyes, and the color of the one leg it appears to be a Purple Pincher.

Purple Pinchers come in a wide variety of colors!! It's always amazed me how different they can look from one crab to another! Congratulations on your new crab!

Here's a better picture
