Anyone konw what this is?

The lfs said it was a white wine hermit but i cannot find anything on them.

ive seen em listed as rock hermits atlantic hermits etc i can actaully find those on beaches but im not sure that they are reef safe

 

[soco]

ok i found it on wet web media its a Clibanarius vittatus but it gives no indication if it is reef safe or not. My local fish store has a few of the for a dollar so thell be in the sump

I have one that looks similar. The only issue i have with them is they get 1.5+" with the shell...which is quite large for a critter in a 65g reef tank. I much prefere the Blue legged or red legged hermits as they stay under 1" even with shells. They dont bulldoze anything.
