Help needed to ID hermit crabs

Post by raychuah » Wed May 01, 2024 10:20 pm

Need help to ID these 4 hermit crabs that I acquired please.
The 2 smaller white shelled ones are found at a breach in Desaru, Johor, Malaysia.
The 2 bigger ones with purple/bluish legs are from Klang, Malaysia.

I think you may have both C. Lila and C. Rugosus. Clear photos of their claws while closed up in their shells is the best way to ID.

Thanks for your reply! I will try to take some close up photos of the claws.
