Well....... emerald crabs are called such, because they are emerald green.
I’m not sure you have an emerald crab.
Let’s see who else chimes in.

Got this guy from my LFS a few weeks ago. Was in the tank with other emeralds. Was told it was the same species. Just a different color. Anyone had any experience with this coloration of emerald before? Thanks.
Emerald crabs come in green and red. My LFS has both. Only real difference I know of is, most people say the green ones are better at eating bubble algae.

Looks like a red Mithrax Crab. Does it have hairy legs? I can’t quite tell. Excellent algae eater and mostly model citizens.
Not to hairy of legs, maybe she shaves them. [emoji23]. Has been grazing on the rocks and eating nori. My lemon peel swims up next to him like they would to a cleaner shrimp. He just waves her off. Doesn’t really show any aggression.
