Crab ID
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:47 pm
hi, i was hoping that someone could help me id a species of crab. i don't have a photo right now, so hopefully a vague description will suffice. it's carapace is a dark bluish-purple, legs are a brownish, and it has bright red movable finger. i cant remember if the unmovable finger is the same, and i believe the palm is the same color as the carapace. perhaps the most notable feature though is the joint of its claw witch is green. the only other information i can think of at this time is that it comes in the same shipments with the common red claws, and is about the same size currently. i have found two of these crabs in about 6 shipments of red claws.
