Can you tell a boy hermit crab from a girl hermit crab by color?

I read somewhere that most (If not all) male hermit crabs are somewhat purple on their legs and claws. Females will change color slightly during mating season, but males are always like that.

Is your hermit crab a boy or a girl?
You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)
