these appear to be scarlett hermet crabs. They are great detrivours. I would like to state however, that no matter how "cool" and organism looks in the store, please! please!!! please!!!!, research and learn before buying! Why buy a critter that you know nothing about, other than it looks cool!

I stand corrected on species, but not principal! Know before you buy!
I'm glad they are doing well and hope you enjoy them for a long time to come. They do look cool, and I hope they continue to be so.
