The Halloween hermit crab, Ciliopagurus strigatus, also known as the striped hermit crab or orange legged hermit crab, is a brightly colored aquatic hermit crab of the family Diogenidae.
Besides its ability to routinely clean algae in aquariums, the Halloween hermit crab's festive striped coloration also appeals to enthusiasts; it is considered the most brightly colored hermit crab in normal aquarium use.
