[emoji33] not sure but he looks mean lol

 

[kireek]

Wow.He looks lovely to me.Following along...

I'm thinking Galapagos but I'm not 100% sure about that at all.

I think this is Charybdis paucidentata. Definitely not reef safe or small fish safe.

Sorry no help with ID, but I agree it looks scary (aka mean)!!!

Really looks similar but I'm not 100% sure yet.

C. paucidentata sure does look close, if perhaps not dead-on.

Swimming crabs (paddles on rear legs) are generally very carnivorous and very fast, but does this fellow have spoon-shaped tips on his claws, similar to an emerald crab?

It's a gorgeous crab, so I'd say sump or rehome, rather than flush or boil with a bit of drawn butter . . .

He is gorgeous. A species tank with him would be amazing.
