Gonodactylaceus graphurus In description it says (Very aggressive) and in fact it is the opposite
It is also redish brown body with lime green legs and green and brownish/red tale. The meral spot matches the Gonodactylaceus graphurus exactly. Everything fits it except the fact that it is not even close to aggresive.
Pretty much i could put anything in the tank and would take no intrest in it, if it gets close it seems to care less as long as it does not bother my mantis shrimp.
Looks exactly like this except redish brown:

If you don't think its actually a Graphurus, then G.Glaborus is another possibility. The visual difference is a "short median carinule" (little bump) on the tail. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthro...costraca/royslist/images/g_graphurusarrow.gif

Squirtle is one of the two (he was very small when we tried to ID him so positive ID was nearly impossible) and I can say he is VERY aggressive. He is pretty cool with his Damsel roomate, but the minute he sees you, he goes into his threat posses. He is also the one who decided that wacking me when I was cleaning algae was ineffective at keeping the "threat" away, and stabed me when I was trying to feed him.
