I dont know the name of the shell.I live in the Florida coast so I can find lots of shells locally at shops,which helps,but I am havent gone as far as investigating names yet,I would like to buy a nice shell book one of these days.
My Straws arrived from LHC with beautiful coloring,and very outgoing!!

Thank you guys for all the compliments!!

Are the violas in the same tank as the others? And if so, have you had any problems with that?

All my crabs live together with no problems.I got 4 tiny to small violas I got locally,they are super active,but never dug anyone yet!!So a total of 7 Violas.I am moving in September,so i have already another tank ready to split them,but just so the large and Jumbos can have their own space.My moon crab lives with my hermit crabs and I never had a problem.
I am no expert,I have been crabbing for less than a year so I cant say much.
