I' m interested in getting a few hermit in the future and saw these at a local pet shop. Was curious if anyone could tell what the species might be.

I’m thinking they’re ruggies, Coenobita rugosus. Please don’t buy from pet stores, all crabs sold are wild caught except Mary Akers captive bred babies. HCA has an adoptions section as well as LHCOS has a free adoption program.

Yeah I'll look around for any up for adoption. Although not many options in Malaysia.

Yes, I'd say these are rugosus as well.
