I have two hermit crabs. Help with ID?

[knifegill]

Not my pics. One looks like this (is tiny!) http://weblog.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/fauna/MiniHermitCrab.jpg

And the big one (still under an inch) I cannot find an example of, but to narrow it down, he's very brown and very, very fuzzy. He has clearly outgrown his shell but has not transferred yet to a new one.

The fuzzy one.

The smaller one.

*sigh* The pics came out small again. I wish I knew how to control that. You can look in my gallery for bigger versions. Note especially the white dots along the antennae.

I would help but i cant access the image for some reason, but heres a good ID link. I don't think it has many hermits on it, but at the same time its always a good link to help ID other things as well.

And could someone please overload me with info about how to care for this fuzzy guy? Surfing the web is pointless because most info is about the giant terrestrial ones from pet stores.

decorators don't use shells like a hermit. but i don't know what either is from the pics. i would keep them both away from any defensless creatures though for sure until you id them.

Oh, hey. I only kept him for a few days. He's back home now. I didn't feed him or anything like that, he was just munching on seaweed from the beach where I found him.
