If you mean how did he change the group name? Click edit - then after it loads, you have the option to add more pictures(of the same spotting), change the name, the location - the wording... everything! Welcome to Project Noah!

It's a land crab if it doesn't need a marine aquarium. I would suggest that purple pincher is not an accepted common name. Here is a link where you can learn more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermit_crab

Hello. I moved your spotting to Arthropods, where crustaceans, insects, spiders and similar animals belong :-)

He is a land hermit I'm pretty sure . I love learning about about new animals and hermit crabs . If you find the right answer I would love to know!
