He is a Large Crab. He came in a painted shell with a lizard on it. My kids named him after his shell.  He changed shells a few times and finally settled into the one in the picture. He is now buried under the substrate we hope he is molting.  He had molting sacks when he changed shells back in December.  He tore up the tank digging under.  He dug under in 3 different places before he settled.  I added more substrate and he stayed down after that.  We hope he will surface soon.  He has only been down a week so I imagine we won't see him for a few months. He is our active crab and see him out and about the most.

Land hermit crabs store a small amount of water in their shells just to keep their gills wet, thus allowing them to breath.
