[Anovack]

I know it's a bad picture but anyone know what kind of crab this is? It came on some LR I picked up

Thanks!

I cant see him very good, but he looks like just an Emerald Green or a Spider Decorator crab to me. Does he have a shell or is that just his body?

the overall shape resembles an emerald crab or similar, yet the markings look kinda like a sally-lightfoot crab.

Yeah I'm not sure either. If you weren't planning on doing inverts you can just give it back to the store. Otherwise, free crab!

It looks very hairy, I my self have a few of the same looking hitch hikers, my LFS told me they were gorilla crab? And told me to get them out!

That's not a gorilla crab. Both pictures are mithrax crabs.

So they good or bad?

They can be both, crabs can and will eat what ever they can catch. I personally am not a fan of pretty much any crab, but others feel different.

Hmmm good to know, thank you!
