Thanks, we did read through that but didn’t see any definitive answers. The hole isn’t raised. It’s white inside of the hole which I’m assuming is the crab meat but it’s sort of black around the hole.Looks like a barnacle,
refer to this previous thread for possible help!
Emerald Crab problem
My large emerald crab has developed a white spots with holes on the claw shell I have tried looking thru threads on site and elsewhere couldn’t find any thing. Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated. Two photos one shows highlight other without.www.reef2reef.com

ThanksYou're right, that is likely from an injury. Larger crabs get that when housed with other crabs. It won't heal until the crab molts. If the hole goes all the way down into the muscle tissue, infection can set it that may cause it to lose that leg.
