Caribbean Hermit Crab

Coenobita clypeatus

Description:

The characteristic purple left claw is not visible. Whereas these hermit crabs were among the rocks on the ground on St. James of the US Virgin Islands (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/159...), they were all in the trees on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands.
