my cousin has a crab with a blue claw. She is really pretty but she is dug down right now so I can't post pics.

Check out the Hermit Crab Central link in my signature.

Go to "The Different Species", and there are pictures of each, besides C. purpureus.

Cavipes aren't common at all anymore, so I doubt HCV could get those.

Hey, I'm from Singapore. This is my 1st post though I have been a HCA member for close to a year.

Anyway, these are my 3 blueberries and a blue rug.

This hermit looks more like a C. violascens, or Viola to me.

And I love the blue Rug!

I want him.

@ Limeslide
Why won't the HCV get Aussies or Cavipes?

@Kilimajaro

Why is that? I emailed with a gentleman who had variabilis available but to export he would need to sell 1000 or more at a time. I think it is doable.

The cavipes? I dunno.

I just bought it home few days ago. Its quite damage, most probably due to rough handling. Below are clearer pics to see if its a voila or blue.

the antennas look like a viola's to me.
i didn't know they got that blue! what a pretty crabbie

Kilimanjaro · Post by **Kilimanjaro** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:10 pm

Yeah, I'm gonna say he/she is a Viola based on the antennae and eyes.

Still, he is one of the most gorgeous Violas I've ever seen!

How long have you had him?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:40 pm

Today is the 4th day he is with me.

I never seen a voila so purplish/blue before. Its color is actually lighter than what's in the pic. Thx for the identification.

Hello seek, I'm coffeebean from the sg forums

Its a viola, i had one turn from full orange to that colour before, and they grow really fast. PM used to sell large sized violas like that.
