I purchased a reef cleaner pack with Hermits about a year ago. This guy was one of the Hermits.

He actually really cool and not that agreesive yet.

Just wondering if anyone knows if it will get any bigger or if I should pull it out now.

I prefer to keep it.
 
Clibanarius vittatus or thinstriped hermit
Never had it be aggressive, but was a bulldozer if it wasnt well attached he moved it.
Mine was about inhabited a very large Babylon snail shell maybe 3”? I never measured
 
Perfect. That’s the same behavior this one has. It’s big but I’ve never seen it try to kill snails or a fish.

I had an orange black one a few years ago that was an absolute murderer. Lol.
 
@Gareth elliott Thanks for the ID ! Here in East coast, North Florida I can collect these same hermits by the hand full.
