Blue Legged Hermits

[twps]

I bought 10 of these little suckers - dwarf blue legged hermits when I first got my tank going several weeks ago. They're doing great, but I've noticed 2 or 3 of them are getting bigger rather quickly taking on larger shells, and they don't have blue legs anymore. They're more of a reddish/brownish couloring. Any chance they're not blue legs and are something else?
I've found hat I thought were bodies, most likely molting of blue legs a few times. At first I thought that when they moulted they lost their colour for some time. These non blue legs are much more aggressive than the others. Is this normal?

In this hobby,Anythings possible.
Blue legs will normally keep the blue colors.

could be that you ended up with a couple of scarlet legged fellas in the pack....

Scarlet Reds, tend to blend in when they are small with their brownish hue as blues, you probably have a few reds, and they get bigger than blues. Nothing to really worry about but they can get big and end up with voracious feeding habits.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm sure mine are doing well also, as they're growing very quickly.
