Hermit crab ID

Im new to saltwater and got some hermits that were sold to me as blue eye hermits. Ive seen pics of blue eyes and knew they were not them. At the time they looked like large blue legs but know that they are in my tank im not sure what they are. It was hard getting pics of them b/c as soon as i moved they jumped right back in there shells. Here are 2 pics.. again sorry about the quality of the pics.

Welcome to RS!

While those are not blue leg hermits, they look like they are reef safe to me. I've had several different colored hermits from red to black to blue and they all were reef safe. Yours doesn't look like the kind that get really big.
 
I hope not i got 5 of them and i was starting to regret it. I need to start researching a little more before i just run off a buy things. LoL they looked reef safe but i wanted to be sure. If anyone knows for sure what they are that would be great.
