My new cray!!

[fishmamma]

The lfs called this guy an Apricot Lobster..although I searched that name and got nothing..so if anyone can give a little info...it would be appreciated...oh yeah I paid $10 for it, and including claws it about 4in or so...sorry about the water spots..i never learn..

Looks like a regular crawdad I find here at home.

Well the body is like any other cray..but the color is not common here at least ....it's a bright peachy color.... and the lfs did not know much about them...

There's orange morphs of P.clarkii, I bet that's what it is. Black_Sun was selling some. If I'd have know she had some at the time (before I got my other Crays) I'd have certainly gotten some from her. I think the orange ones are awesome! Frankly, I'd have paid a heck of a lot more than $10 for one lol

You got it for a very good price. They can get very expensive.

No, this looks like Cherax holthuisi, a Parastacid crayfish. It was probably collected in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian part of New Guinea.

It doesn't look like a P. clarkii.


Yup, it's a Cherax holthuisi
