Found this guy in with the Mexican red leg hermits, its solid jade green with black/white striped antennae and eye stalks

Kind of looks like what they call the "Jade Hermit Crab"... Can't find a species name out there for that though. Not familiar with species that occur in the Temperate waters of the East Pacific. It is not Calcinus latens, they often have a splash of color like purple and also white spots on their arms.

I actually tink its a band eye hermit ( Paguristes tortugae )
