Help: Crab ID

[Kdocimo90]

I have these blue crabs that were sold as "blue porcelain crabs" but clearly are not. they are sort of spider-ey and burrow/dig themselves into the sand.

Either turn the blues off or fix your white balance, can't really get a good look at what they are right now. They definitely look like spiders from these photos even though it is a crab..lol

Good luck getting an ID.
