just got an order of some cerith snails and hermit crabs from LA. they gave me a few extra of each but there are two odd ball hermits that i am not sure of. anyone have any clue what kind of hermit this is?

PS: i put them up to some hair algae and they went right after it.. but i dont want to risk losing any sps due to these two so i want to make sure
 
i would be really wary of any crabs you can't identify. hermits are opportunistic feeders ... i would put them in the sump or refugium.
 
Paguridae sp seems like it. thanks for the page and guesses guys!

anyone know if hes reef safe?
