Hermit crab ID

I bought a bunch of Starry hermits, and other kind's of crabs too, and one in the mix has turquoise on parts of it's legs, and on it's head. Does anybody know what kind of Hermit Crab has turquoise markings?

HC eat coralline?

Yes it did help. it is a blue spotted Hermit crab, Dardauns Guttatus
Does Dardanus guttatus, or Dardanus megistos eat purple coralline algae?
