What do you think the first crab is? Are you saying it is gorilla crab because hairy legs?The two in the second picture look like Pithos to me, carapace shape looks right etc. First picture it’s a bit harder to see but the hairy legs are right. Claw size could be male vs female?
Not sure. A little hard to see. I agree the carapace looks darker, but Pithos have hairy legs too so that’s consistent. Is it eating algae? My Pithos are voracious algae eaters
Oh ok, that makes sense, thanksI doubt I would know if mine were eating a few zoas, so can't comment there. But they do decorate a bit, may stick things to their heads for camouflage... Possibly an attempted decoration, that later fell off or didn't attach well.
edit: Actually, looking on bigger screen, the first one could be an emerald or ruby Mithrax crab? I agree the coloration is dark for a Pitho. (Emerald would be fine and also eat algae.)
