What kind of hermit is this?
I picked up this hermit the other day and have no idea what it is. It seems much more timid than any of the other hermits in the tank and hasn't caused any damage.

it's not a scarlet hermit do you mean a red leg? Yeah, it's a a Mexican Turbo snail shell I think, whatever the large turbo snail is. It's a large hermit that's for sure.

my guess would be an Orangeclaw Hermit Crab, but yours seems a little big.
