Hello, more than likely came from my tbs rock, I discovered a few days ago and caught today. Round and smooth, does not look to be hairy. Big meaty claws that are white, with black tips. Legs are black with white stripes.

I believe it’s a “purse crab” but not positive by any means

Ruby Clinging Crab - Mithraculus forceps


Anyone know how big these guys get? I have one that came in on my TBS Shipment, and he has already doubled in size.
