What type of Hermit Crab?

Anyone know what hermit crab this is?

Calcinus tibicen

Calcinus tibicen is the Orangeclaw Hermit Crab. This looks nothing like that. Thanks anyway!

I am still looking to identify this hermit crab. Seems no one has seen one like this anywhere.

That's so funny. I was going to say that weeks ago when you posted it as a joke. Sometimes the easiest answer is the right one!

Not sure about that species, but some of the dardanus crabs get HUGE and end up in conch shells about a foot long.
