I agree, it looks like your standard emerald crab.

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.

thanks, I think more and more emerald, since I read that a lot of them are nearly brown, not really green.

Same family anyway.

no, not at all. Gorilla crab don't have the spoon like shape on their claws and their claws are black at the tip. Mine has green claws with spoon shape at the end, just like any emerald crab.
