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...

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.
