I love this thread! I am so glad you are giving all these guys a chance! Number 10 is the coolest crab I've seen! and I had a number 11 living in my fuge for 3 years. Never knew his exact type though. He liked to bury himself in the sand during the day and then around 5:30 ish he would come out and scuttle around. Keep the pics coming!

This one is what I imagine an emerald crab to look like, except green.
If it is similar I would love to have it somewhere it won't get eaten :p

#20 which caused #19 too much stress and caused it's subsequent death :/ (they had a squabble and #19 lost a claw then I realised my salinity was super high)
