Hello!! I got this crab from a big box store, and I’m now confused. What kind of hermit crab is this? It does not look like my purple pinchers. I got it because it was really active during the day. And the more I look at it, the more I realize it is not the same kind of crab. I know there are two that have elongated eyes with this coloring, but I don’t know which it is. Also, does it need to go back to the store or can live with them? They huddle together so far, but I wouldn’t want anyone to be hurt, during a molt, for example.

Looks like an Ecuadorian. Their eyestalks are oval shaped.
