hermit crabs

[tehawesome]

I just bought some hermit crabs, and I ended up getting 2 different colors I have never seen before. One is white and purple, and the other is black with red claws and antennas. Any ideas what kind they are? Thanks

If you can take some pics that would help to id them.

I use the internet from my phone, so I can't attach pics =/
The purple and white ones have a back face with tiny white stripes
The black ones have tiny blue spots all over them
Hope that helps

The purple/white may be a caribean hermit (but I may be wrong). I'm not sure about the other one.

I can't find anything on these guys, its a very light purple and its random stripes.

What bulbs are you looking at them under?

 

[tehawesome]

T5

What color spectrum? Sounds like basic blue legs and scarlets under actinics

Its just a nova current pro, 6 bulbs straight from thepetplace.com. I have blue legs under t5 and they look blue, these look lilacish and def have white.

where did you purchase them?

(can't the store tell you what they are?)

 

[tehawesome]

Creation, we haven't had a chance to go there, its sorta far.

I'm sure they know what was on their order... just give them a call and describe the crabs... they'll probably know before you finish the description..
