Green legged hermit with eyes sticking out?

[Powahfull]

Was getting my water for my weekly water change at the local coral shop I asked what the heck is that he said he was doing matienance on a customers tank and saw it no one knew what it was and green legged hermit crab in salt water didn't turn up a good search results.

I don't have any corals yet so the guy gave it to me for a dollar. Anyone have a clue what it is? I have reg legged hermits when they move their legs are up and down like walking this guy appears to be turtle like and the legs go horizontal.

It's really hard to see from the picture. There are zebra hermit crabs that can look similar.
