Soldier Hermit
In baensch marine atlas it sort of looks like the soldier hermit crab.
But it goes onto say: right pincher is larger than the left and these can only be kept in cold water aquariums. BTW, Great Picture !

One more source
In Modern Coral Reef Aquarium
Hermit Crab (Diogenidae) Calcinus spp. Very similar picture there, same colors and the eyes look strickingly similar (relatives.....) Still says the left chela is larger than the right, but doesnt look that way in your picture. Fine for a reef aquarium. Zulu
