They are just gorgeous, and your pictures are great! I really love the first one and fourth ones in the first post, and the second and third ones in the second post. I wish I could find a couple of crabbies like those, very cool.

Is like Es??

Tony they do resemble Es.
Of all the species and many beautiful colors they all come in, I really have to say these are my new favorites. I don't know what it is but they are very striking and unodinary. Really something special. I hope to one day be able to own 1 or a pair! Probably impossible but it would be an honor.

Why you know they are Coenobita pseudorugosus??

Any reference evidence?

They're sunset violas, right? (I might have the sciency name wrong, I'm not sure)
Check out mine

This is Moose, hes skinny looking because hes still so tiny I suspect, i'm hoping he'll bulk up when he molts

I got a huge streak of luck and found him (plus two blues and a straw) at a pet store! A pet store.. I can hardly believe that

Just thought I'd share him with you since you're sharing your gorgeous little guys with us

You can see that the eyestalks and eye shapes of the crabs in OPs pictures are different than violas. So I think there is a difference between sunset violas and this possible new species. Also, sunset violas tend to only keep their striped coloring when young, I believe. : )

They are like ruggies. They are also called sunrise because of yellow and red colors. Rocky you have a color variation of a viola. These are either a species on their own or a color variation of the ruggie. Everybody has mixed opinions on that but in other countries like Germany they consider them to be a different species.

I saw a post about 'zebra' sunset violas, do you think thats what Moose is?
