Crab Id

I have a pet peeve with this site. One, they have a couple crabs listed as Xanthid crabs, that are actually crabs of the Pilumnidae family. Two, every crab listed under Mithrax is actually a Xanthid crab except for the first photo (orange/red crab with black background). Because alot of reefers use this site as a go too site for crab id. It's caused some confusion when reefers think they have Mithrax when really they have a Xanthid. But i'm a cranky *******, who likes to complain alot.
 
I have a friend (for real) who has a crab in his reef tank that is the size of a child's fist and we call him Boris! He yanks LR around and destroys whole frags, we have a hit placed on his head but he's survived everyone. Be careful the Boris family are a strong resilient survivor.
