Blue eye Hermit?

[shrimped]

i got a handful of hermit crabs from LFS a few months ago and got very interested in one of them. It has a light grey body and very shiny blue eyes and antennae. It's coral friendly and acts exactly the same as others. Anyone have any idea what Crab this is?

I am sure it's hard but can you get a better picture? It's hard to Id this little guy

Sorry. iPhone camera sucks for macro shots but here is a bit close up. I am also sure it's not the blue lights that's giving it a blue shiny eye

Cool little crab ... but like so very many, it's not one I've seen before!

Maybe it will change color when it molts

Yea I've never seen such creature exist! Very interesting so I spot feed him everyday now lol. Wonder if they are just as rare as the Flame Tip Crabs I saw on Instagram.

I have this little crab for a while so it definitely molted many times. I have even seen the whole molting process of this guy before so molting fortunately did not change its appearance.
