Not a sub species, Ecuadorian and PPs are individual species, just like humans and chimps are their own species.
Es tend to be a lot more active then PPs and most people Ive come to know over the years often say their crabs are a lot more vocal then to PPs. But, this isn't always the case, as many people have had vocal PPs. :)
And yeah, C_fiesta isnt incorrect in stating crabs being vocal when 'upset', some can get vocal when they are getting picked up (common practise back in the day)... so in a way they can be 'mad'.
I personally wouldnt worry.
