He's just a red tip hermit. Nothing different from the blue legs really.. they were probably all mixed in there.
Most of my hermits are all red tips and live in a tank housing one of every coral. No damage.
Although I hear these guys like condylactus anemones but tbh I don't know anybody who'd care
Reguarding your zoas.. I'd inspect them if I were you.

Did you ever see him on the zoas?
There's alot of things so tiny and invisible that would eat zoas like flatworms and such.. but that hermit I doubt is the culprit. Zoas tend to be the tastiest of corals to unwelcome hitchhikers!
No if any hermit crab was starving I could see it atempting a zoanthid..

Can one of you all tell me if this hermit crab is reef safe? a friend of mine gave them to me but im afraid of letting them loose in my tank.

Quoted for pic. I'm not familiar with that hermit personally..don't even have an ID! keep him well fed and just move him if you see him sitting on any particular corals. If he gets 3" he's definitly worth removing at that point.
