Looks like a crab in the Chlorodiella genus to me. Which is in the Xanthidae family.

Not trying to cause any problems here. But be aware emerald crabs are in the Majidae family, not Xanthidae. I would also suspect the big black emerald crabs you have are likely Chlorodiella nigra instead. Here is a video on youtube so you can compare.
