I think they're basicly the same behavor as blue/orange knuckle hermits and other medium sized hermits. I don't know about it being "Obscurus" but I've seen the one shown in the provided picture at the lfs many times.

What color is his eyes?
 
What color is it under natural lighting(non-blues)? It kind of looks like the crimson ones I have that have one big claw and one small one, with white tips to feet, claws and eye stalks.

While it may not be the same type exactly, it looks like same genus at least. Mine are fairly nice, they don't bother my fish, don't munch on my zoas, and leave my porcelain crabs alone.
