Scarlet Hermits turning bright orange

[ocean-smooth]

Over the last couple of weeks I notice that my scarlet hermits crabs are turning from red to a bright orange, does anyone know why that is???? Is this a good thing or bad....

I don't know, but i noticed that one of mine is PURE WHITE! like an albino crab or something....

I have blue, white and orange hermits. When I purchased the orange one, my LFS told me it was a "trapdoor" hermit. When he pulls into his shell, he's got a little "door" that closes off the entrance. Double check!
He's been growning and growning.....Might need a new tank just for the crabs! LOL
