Caught this little guy while fishing. I caught him in freshwater but fairly close to the sea, maybe 500meters distance. There are probably two dozen different species of crabs here, most salt water and terrestrial I would guess, however ample freshwater species too
His back legs seem modified for swimming, they're flattened out like paddles, and he has the ability to swim pretty fast. Also he seems to do well in other parts of the water column, not just a bottom dweller.
Can anyone ID the species? Is it a salt water species that had was just moon lighting up stream? Are they fully aquatic? How long can they live in freshwater?
