[Arthur França]

Yeah! But whats the life time??The price is 45 R$, and i don't like lose money...

if you dont like to lose money i would stay with the cheapest(maybe emerald crabs) if you wand a crab that is not a hermit.

i have owned many different ones. i have had some of the same hermits and emeralds for over a year now. i would think that the crab pictured would live a while if taken care of

Esmerald Crab, in Brazil???Impossible!It's very rare!!
I'll buy the clown crab to discover the life time!
Bye!!

Arthur,

Platypodiella spectabilis http://www.reeflex.net/tiere/2498_Platypodiella_spectabilis.htm is a Xanthid crab and omnivore. It is said it feeds sometimes on anemones.

There is nothing more known about this crab – although with the scientific name You can search at least. ;) How big is it (only carapace width)? It surely may live some three to four years but this really is just a wild guess because most crabs at least can get that old.
