First, I apologize for not having a picture, but I'm trying to remember the name of this little blue crab i saw in a pet store a while back. When I saw them they weren't to big, light blue, they were upright and had an egg shaped body. They also sifted the sand bed by doing this neat little dance with their pinchers. I've tried looking it up but i cant seem to find them on any website i go on. Can anyone think of anything similar?

You have to supply a picture or name of some kind for us to ID a crab out of many that fit that description.
The only crabs that come to mind that are blue are soldier crabs.
Also search horseshoe crabs, mole crabs, and shameface crabs.. although not blue they fit the shape and behavior description. Could be lighting also making them look a different shade.
