Emerald crab or not?

Tattooedlife · 12-30-2003, 06:16 PM

One day after searching in my tank for my emerald crab i fought another crab (Besides my emerald, which was hiding on the other side of the tank), which looked alot like my emerald crab but has realy bright eyes. This crab must have come in with my live rock which I,ve had for about 2-3 years. How I,ve missed it all this time i have no idea, because its about twice the size of my emerald crab. Anyways it stays hid. All i know is it seems to look alot like the emerald but has those red eyes. Does any of the emeralds have red eyes? Or is this another type of crab?

Don't know for sure what kind it is, but I found a brown crab with bright Red eyes in my LR too... I noticed it also had pointy Claws so I removed him from my tank, and gave it to a LFS who fed it to a puffer... Food Chain at work!!
