I'd say emerald but Legs look pretty hairy
Are the claws pointy sharp or flat like scrapers?

Yerp, emerald. Although I can't say for certain that it is Mithraculus sculptus but other than what is on paper it's pretty much identical to normal emerald crabs.

I can't see the carapace or rostrum very well, but it appears to be a Mithraculus species. Nice of the guy to toss them in for you. They're always fun to watch.
