that doesnt look like any emerald crab ive seen:neutral:

"YAAAAAAAAAARGH"

At least that's what he's saying to me anyways.

Not a mithrax crab Aaron.....Mithrax have "Hairy" legs.....youve got something else there.

Yes, it looks like it ready to pounce! It kinda looks like the predator from the movie Predator, with those beady eyes and patchy coloured head..

I bought it as a "emerald crab", but the "emeraldness" begins and finishes with the crab being green...then again I also bought a peppermint shrimp from the same store and it wasn't really as advertised either.

Now, I know better than to buy from anywhere other than RC...:wink:

The trick will be getting the bugger out without loosing my rockwork or a finger..

Those darn crabs. I just found one in our display that was about 2" but it wasn't green at all, it was kind of a brownish orange with orange spots on it. I also had disappearing zoas. Some very pretty green ones--- a rock about 3" x 2" x 2" covered in them, and another with some pretty pink ones about 2" x 2" x 2". But we got the little beggar. I was told it was a box crab. Asides from that, really nice progression on your tank. Nice size, too.

Damn, he looks ****ed off!!!!!! Might want to wear some knights armor when you go to get him out... :lol:

Here is a great hitchhiker ID site... I did not that crab there but may be helpful in the future.
