Identifying new crab

Post by Mr. Crab's mom » Tue Aug 13, 2013 1:12 am

Got a new crab from a small pet store that was advertising Strawberry Crabs. When I came in and asked he replied all of them are Strawberries. Well the bottom tank contained very little crabs that looked like E's to me. Then they had 3 crabs in a small tank they said was jumbos. One I could tell was a PP, the other 2 looked like this. I know this isn't a PP and he is a big boy. Can anyone identify what he is?New crabCrab

I was thinking it was an E. It was the colors that was throwing me off, a lot of red. He is huge, I didn't know they could get so big. Always heard they were smaller. His shell is 1 1/4 inch opening.
