No, it's fine.

You just must have purple pincher hermit crabs (also called Caribbean crabs). I have 3 hermit crabs, all purple pinchers. Their claws are red with purple in the center and their legs have a purple-ish & red-ish hue. No worries, that's just the type of crabs they are. Purple pincher crabs are the most common to buy in pets stores.

Is smoke good around hermit crabs?

No. Hermit crabs have modified gills, meaning that they need 70-80% humidity in order to breath. However hermit crabs cannot breath under water; they will drown. It is important to have the humidity between 70-80% so the hermit crab can properly breath. Smoke is toxic to hermit crabs and will eventually kill them.
