I'm not sure on this one, honestly. I don't currently know any crabs that I'm confident have a body shape like this - this is a good excuse for me to start diving into crab morphology and taxonomy to see if I can't figure something out though.
I am stumped as well. The closest thing I could think of was a coral guard crab (Trapezia), which protect branching stony corals. However, they have eyes that are larger and more spaced-out compared to those of OP’s crab.Wow, not even close. Looks like something I wouldn’t want in my tank. @WheatToast
Do you have a sump to put this fella in? Maybe you could leave it there to scavenge/eat detritus and eventually start a successful fast food chain after hiring a sponge and a cephalopod.Thanks all commented. Contacted the vendor and hopefully get refunded. I was kinda of bump, first they ran out of what I wanted then sent only one crab and it was wrong. Now I gotta deal with this crab which I made an acclimation box just for him to live in for the time being.
In an acclimate box, I feed him regularly soDo you have a sump to put this fella in? Maybe you could leave it there to scavenge/eat detritus and eventually start a successful fast food chain after hiring a sponge and a cephalopod.
