Is it alright for an Ecuadorian hermit crab to live with a Caribbean hermit crab?

. asked:


I bought three hermit crabs from petco a week ago. They were all Caribbean hermit crabs (purple pinchers). One of them died, so I decided to return it and get a new one. A friend of mine went because I couldn’t. Anyway, she asked specifically for a Caribbean hermit crab. The worker at petco gave her an Ecuadorian. Will he be okay living with another species? Do they require different humidity levels or temperatures?
