I have an adorable micro E that is a beautiful light shade of blue... lemme fetch some photos. #1 is premolt, #2 is after his first molt. His eyestalks are even more orange now, after his second and third molts.

read through this past thread to see the gradual transformations in a C. clypeatus:

My first E, Jack, turned electric blue a couple molts ago. She's more of a golden brown now with blue creases. She eats an outrageously varied diet, molts often, and is growing like a monster.

Nice juvenile blueberry ... yes, sometimes C.purpureus incidentally sent together with ruggies or komurasakis from Indonesia. Since one - r two larvae may be washed to shores where Indonesian exporters usually collect ruggies.

My newest & pretties large Blueberry (C.purpureus) - he's a dominant male although his body has not reached the jumbo size:

A new variant of blueberry I discover - the milky-colored blueberry.

Some more new C.purpureus in my collection:

A jumbo one :

And actually Indonesia has more color variants of blueberries / C.purpureus than Japan.
