Mysterious crab!?
Likely a dumb question. But to me, river rock means fresh water? Have you tried typing in google search, "fresh water crab id," or something similar and go through the photos?

U
Crab?
Mostly out of fear the crab may cause harm to fish, corals, snails, or other life in the tank. Though there really isn't a whole lot of information available on many of the species we find.

U
need some IDs please
