Page 3/7, it's 50/50 version of A and C.

I've 180'd on my opinion that these crabs are fun. They're fun to watch, but he's really been p*ssing me off recently.

I think i read that this crab wasn't toxic when it died in a tank, but was toxic when consumed (by whatever). I'm pretty sure i read this, but it was like 1 stumbled apon sentence during a few hrs of looking up...

Does anyone know if it'd nuke my tank if it died in there? I'll ask in inverts section too.

Yeah baby! What a relief. Don't have to worry about toxins in the tank. Crab caught alive and intact. Pics:
