Safe Hermit???

I don't get it. I haven't added anything to my tank in at least a year, if not longer. I'm cleaning the sump...pulled the skimmer, return pump and biopellet reactor out and sucked all the water and schmutz out of these two portions of the sump. Low and behold I find a hermit in the skimmer section. I've only had scarlet leg hermits in my tank.....added maybe four years ago....haven't seen any in about six months. Here's the guy I found:







Is this guy reef safe? And where did he come from? Oh, for size, the shell is about 5/8 of an inch.

I think if he has done well in the sump and you are not sure, leave him in the sump.
