If you get a chance, could you take a picture of the claw?

ok ty,I wasn't sure cause he is so red,and I saw a pic on Pinterest of a strawberry and a blueberry hermit crab,at least that's what they called them,I think it's a nickname for another kind,I used to raise fiddler crabs when I was a child and they had red claws,they were soooo fun to watch!!

Purple pinchers come in a variety of colors :) Strawberries are completely red, and are very pricey. Blueberries are not for sale in the USA. :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com

A Blueberry looks like color of blueberries from my understanding and Straws definitely look like strawberries.
