Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could double check what type of crabs I have so I know how best to care for them. I got them for a birthday gift and I think my Mom picked them up from Petco. Here are my two little guys...

Thanks!
New... PPs, or another type?

They both look like healthy PPs
6 hermit crabs - 3 PPs and 3 Equadorians

They are definitely PPs (Caribbean purple pinchers). Their scientific name is Coenobita clypeatus.
