I go to the lfs, and Dan, the owner says there was a shipping mistake. he ordered a few "fiddler crabs", but got something quite different. He assumed they were at least related to fiddlers, and thought that since I was the only one in town who even knew fiddlers needed land to crawl on, I would have the best shot at care for them. He goes in to the back of the store, and Dan walked up with a rather heavly cleaned kitty litter box, with live sand froim the sw tanks and a few m of sw in some areas. they are light purple with long spier-like leds, small claws and orange joints. one was trying to burrow. It made a cm deep crater by digging, then crlwed in on its side, and slowly spun counter-clockwise to make its burrow deeper and wider. there are 2. I also got 25 1cm convict fry free :D
 
Deal with your crabs your self! :ROFL:
 
They sound cool. I'd like to see some pics.
 
naw, I have kept fiddlers and know there correct enviornment wich is why I was given these. It is purple on the head and its sides are whitish purple.
