"Red Reef" hermit crab
it's not that this "red reef" hermit crab is uncommon, but its degraded shell choice allowed me to see the entire animal-who was skittish such that damselfish and my snorkel exhales scared it. actually when it was turned over you would overlook it, so maybe not a bad home choice. And while waiting for it to come out again (& again), found the pipefish!
