it is autochthonous because I captured on a nearby beach, the aquarium is now a center for studies and repopulation in Galicia (Spain)! where I am studying, the fact is that I forgot his name and can not find in any guidebook!

Could you give us some more details about this crab? Where did you find it? You've put it in the Captive Animals mission, so it is probably not native to the area... Was it in a public aquarium, or kept as a pet in a fish tank? If you give us more info, it helps to narrow down the search a little! :D

I kown it is a crab, but, what kind? I think is a fighter-crab some people think it's Eriphia verrucosa but I don't think so!
