Please help w/ID on hermit hitchhiker...

This is a repost. I tried to post on New to Hobby, but did not get much feedback.
I think this little guy came in with a LR, not sure. I've looked in LiveAquaria and some other misc. places, but I cannot find him. I atleast think he's ok cause he only picks at rocks and such. He's gotta pinkish-brown body with blue and white striped antennae. His claws are rounded and not black and pointy, but you never know.
Does anyone know what he is? Thanks

Thanks again!

Pics aren't clear enough - they don't even show if the two big claws are equal in size or unequal. Try these pages & see if you can find a match

Ok. Thanks Leslie (yet again lol)

I didn't come across him there. Maybe my eyes are messed up from staring at screen for so long. I guess I'll just wait for him to get bigger so I can get a better shot. He doesn't seem like he'd hurt anything. He's pink, so he's gotta be good. lol
Thanks again for your help

There's gotta be thousands of hermit species so it's not surprising that we can't easily find a match. As usual with any hitchhiker just keep an eye on it.
