Crab id request...

[VR28man]

Found this lady in a batch of live rock from KP aquatics. Any help IDing her is appreciated.

She does not look like an emerald crab, but at the same time she does not look much like a gorilla crab, it seems to me, because her claws are not black .

I put her in a isolation bowl, with some Chaeto, and she loves hiding in the chaeto

Put him in the sump to be safe

Agreed.

Yeah, I thought she might be an emerald crab - looks kind of like the one I already have - but I'm not 100% sure.

Unfortunately, I don't have a sump.

Or take him back to LFS.

KP sells hairy emeralds sometimes. Could that be it? Beautiful crab.

Yeah that's a good point. She looks more like this:

Seems she's an emerald crab. Florida Keys girl, born and bred.

Not the hairy one:
