Dear Friends,

I was feeding the fish and all of a sudden saw that crab in my aquarium. Can anyone identify the type? If so is it good to have or not? :downcast-face-with-sweat:

Thank you for you helps,

Is it green? Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like an emerald crab to me. If its an emerald I love them! Here is mine so you can compare them and see if its the same crab.

It is not green actually, looks white and grey maybe

Yeah, more pics under white light would help (blue lighting washes out a lot of details).

A straight-on pic of the top of the crab (like in your photo above) and a straight-on pic of the crab's face and claws (showing where the top and bottom "pincers" of the claw come together) would be particularly helpful.
