Default RE: Decent Night and Need help with Crab ID

The crab is one of the Calappa species- probably C. flammea- as mentioned, called box crabs or the slang "shameface crab". We trawl those up on the research vessel every trip- they're pretty common in both the bay and Gulf. Have had some success keeping them in captivity- they're really cool to watch in an aquarium. Neat catch!
