What kind of crab is this?

[mikellini]

I have been looking around, but not finding any info. The crab has bluish spotty colouring on its back, and has a very large right-hand claw in comparison to the left. From memory, i think the large claw is yellowish/white. At the LFS, they have no name for it !?! Help?

try a snap shot if u can, cause shatter cast 101 cant have a stab at it unless it visual! how much more of a simpleton can one get> lucky i have talents in other areas. pole dancing is one! :D

I have no camera right now! Plus, I'm not sure the LFS would be happy with me taking pictures of their stuff... the crabs are about 1-1.5 inches across...

just a shot in the dark a zebra hermit crab has a bigger claw. but the color ( hints zebra ) arnt the same as the one you are discribing.

Wish we could help but without a picture we are shooting in the dark my friend..

It's definitely NOT a hermit crab. The general shape of an emerald crab, except for the claw, and the bluish back, light coloured claws.
