Looks like a bad crab. Pointy, black claws.....of course, that coming from someone who knows nothing about crabs except they are not to be trusted......

Looks like an emerald to me. I think I see "scoops" on the end of those front claws.

emeald crab huh. i bought 2 before which were the same and so far i've found 3 different types. 2 the same but one was dead and now this one and another almost completely black one. i'm pretty sure this is a hitch hiker so i'd love a couple more opinions just to be sure. thanks for the responses so far
