I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of C. Variabilis. I know a few people on heer have some and I tried doing a search but couldnt find any pictures. I was wondering if anyone with this species could post some pic. I am very curious to see what they look like.

Yep, CC's look much like E's/Rugs but heavier built and with many black spots usually.

Did you mean CV's? CC stands for Coenobita Cavipes, doesn't it?

CC stands for Crazy Crabs, the short way of saying Coenobita Variabilis, ShyGuy.

And I think the eyestalks are "thicker" than those of ruggies or cavs, which are more strongly compressed. I could occasionaly get CC in Indonesia. The colour was quite pale (cream, like C.scaevola), black, or greyish blue/green.
