Red emerald crab?

[Yoda3983]

Hi all,

I got this from the local fish shop they said it was an emerald crab but red and it happens some times. Just thought I would post some pictures for opinions? The shop have a very good reputation so hoping they are right.

Its a Ruby Mithrax crab, which is a red Emerald crab. I have one as well. They both eat bubble algae and such.
