Hello reefheads!

last night I thought i'd seen a tiny snail, but this morning with the lights on, it's definitely a tiny hermit!
Must have gotten in with the live rock. So now I'm wondering if this is a "regular size" hermit's baby or just some tiny hermit species. Hoping some of you experts can tell me more about it?

It's the tine white "dot" on the second picture. I'm hoping it will turn out to be a nice hermit, it does have a cone shell like the Ciliopagurus strigatus only uses, on the first picture.
There won't be any fish in the tank for quite some time to come so i guess it has some survival chance:)
I'll have to get rid of it when it gets big tho, as I'm not sure if 2 of them suit a 13g tank?

Its probably a baby, every now and then i will see tiny hermits in my tank and I will not have added any new hermits. Congrats, you're now the proud god parent of a baby hermit!
