So I caught the little crab finally and plan to bring it to the lfs fairly soon. I was gonna see if I could try and get an Id on it.Its from some florida Liverock. The last thread I posted for its Id someone said maybe a juvenille stone crab?

Can you try to get a picture of its back legs? I can't see them clear enough.
 
I'm sorry im not home right now but its whole body is white including the legs. It also tends to bury itself in the sand a lot. And im pretty sure its eyes are black its too tiny to tell.
 
pointy claws means its a carnivore right? Im really thinking its a juvenile stone crab since its from florida but I dont know since it doesnt have the black tips.

The reason I'd like a picture of the bag legs is so I can see the shape of them.
 
From what I can tell, it's an omnivore who eats snails. So it's not FOWLR or reef safe.

Edit: (But still really cool!)
