Brazilian Hermit Crab ID help

Hello
This hermit crab is reef safe??
What´s the name??




Thanks in advance

Anything that size with a claw like that I would not call reef safe. I have no clue what is it but I would toss that sucker in my sump in a heartbeat if I saw him creeping around my tank!

Hi!
That´s a Calcinus tibicen (Orangeclaw Hermit Crab). Wonderful hermit crab.
I have some in my tank, no problems with him.

Hier is one of my own hermit crabs (Calcinus tibicen):
Juvenil:

and adult (the same hermit crab) will be so:
