    It the one with the little red eyes. I know he is intentionally harmless but still knocks over things.

    I was mean I brought it to the closest store by mean PETCO. It is snowing out in PA. It was that or the trash. He was a nice guy too but sometimes he scared me but he never touched a coral or fish.

    you would be able to tell if it was an emerald crab or not by its cupped claws
