    Confirming Emerald Crab (also what’s this black/white hole in the claw?)

    Large Crab ID

    Hey guys. I just picked this guy up at my LFS. Guy said he was a pest hitchhiker so I bought it off him for a couple bucks. His body is probably about 3 inches wide not including the claws/legs. He's pretty big. He's munching on some octopus I just gave him. I bought it for my mantis shrimp...

    crab ID

    We have had this mystery crab in our tank for a while now and even with traps have not been able to get him out! Sneaky guy! He has molted so hopefully this will help.

    Need ID on crab that hitchhiked in on a torch coral

    So I ordered a maricultured metallic green torch coral from LiveAquaria and it came with its very own sizable crab. It has hairy legs and green body and claws. I'm thinking it's an emerald mithrax crab, but I want to be sure before I set it loose in the tank. Can anyone confirm it's an emerald...
