Conical Shell Crab?

[SnowManSnow]

I know the pic doesn't help much, but this guy is small (under half an inch long). He is tucked away in his shell. Came on some LR I purchased today. FOR SURE a crab, I saw him walking around down there. Any idea? Should I try for a better PIC? His Legs APPEARED, the best I could see while tucked away, to have some light strips on them.

is it a hermit crab?

yeah, it looks like a blue-legged hermit crab to me.

<-- very new.. since then learned that it is a hermit crab... I think red and black legs though.. not blue.

Thanks.

Probably some form of hitchhiking Pacific hermit. Keep an eye on it, it will grow and need new shells as it does so... once it reaches an inch in size though, it will likely have to be removed.
