Caribbean Crab ID

[jtp1371]

Hey All!

Need some assistance identifying two crabs that we commonly get on our House Reef here in Cayos Cochinos, Honduras. These photos were taken around midday at about 6 meters depth. The habitat here is concrete blocks although I have seen both crabs commonly inhabit small cracks and rubble found across the reef.

they look like hermit crabs to me

The first looks to be a species of clinging crab. The second, yes, is obviously a species of hermit crab. Trying to get species specific but thanks for the input!
