			 They are electric blue-legged hermit crabs.  Reef safe as a hermit can be.  You can find these at some stores for sale.

			 they came in a couple of shell i got for free so i guess its a good score as long as they leave my corals inverts and fosh alone. that is my only worry is that its going to pick at somethingg i dont want it to.

			 Well there is always somewhat of a risk with any crab IMHO.  If it helps I used to have one of these.  He was my favorite hermit, and he would eat bryopsis which I thought was great.  Sadly that particular crab got foully murdered. (I think by either a bad hitcher crab or the red scarlet I used to have)
