Red vs Blue Hermit Crab

Hello all,

I was wondering if there were any differences between the red-tipped hermit crab (not scarlet) or the blue-legged hermit crab?

Thanks!

I'm not sure.

I have read and seen that Mexican Red Leg hermits eat alot of unwanted material in a tank and never bother any of my corals.
