Default Crab ID Please

Hello,

I was sent three of these so called "lollipop crabs" from my Philippines supplier. No latin name for them, and I can't find them in my atlases. Any ideas?

Strange. I guess you can't say much about them seeing the name eludes you?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
