I'm posting this for a friend of mine who found this mite in a recently discarded shell and is worried it could possibly be a hermit crab mite. There are no mite ID guides for hermit crabs as crab parasites aren't well studied, so we're all left scratching out heads when we find one.
Are there any ID guides out there for common mites found in vivariums the States? We're all hoping it's a stray from somewhere else rather than something that might be eating the crabs. Is there any way to tell by it's structure what type of diet it has?
