HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi! Can you please help me identify this little guy? I got him at the pet store and not quite sure what he is. Sorry for the repeat pictures. Thanks guys!

I'd say either a E or a ruggie... But leaning towards ruggie more.

I'm no expert but he does look like a ruggie

Rugosus.

I have a mixed tank, and all my crabs get along really well, E's included. Maybe its luck, I'm not sure? I try to provide a variety of food that all my species prefer each day, and they have plenty of space (still pile up on top of each other anyway lol)

No, many people that keep these little guys say it's the opposite and very vocal about it; where they have often got the nickname the "Crying Crab" because that constantly chirping at little things. Once you get to know the little one Jillybeans, I certain we would all like to hear about him!

Believe it or not I got these little ruggie looking crabs October of 2014! You can only imagine how teeny he and his friends were then! lol This whole time I thought they were E's but recently I've been starting to question it because they don't look anything like my Ecuadorians I purchased online. The pet store claimed they were blueberries!!....haha Thanks!

I'm so jealous, it's so hard to find anything other than PPs where I live, I'll love them anyway though.
