Does anyone know what its binomial name or just anything about it? I feel like they made up a name to make it seem like it was "rare" I tried searching up Red Spider Crab and can't find anything about it. My best guess was it was a baby arrow Crab however I saw a photo of a baby arrow Crab and it looks nothing like that accept for the legs. The only info I was able to get from this website selling it is:
"COMMON NAME: Red Spider Crab
SIZE AVAILABLE: ~1 1/2 inches
MINIMUM TANK SIZE: 20 gallons
FOOD/DIET: Carnivore
CARE LEVEL: Moderately easy
REEF SAFE: Considered safe, but aggressive
AVAILABILITY: RARE"
Thanks in advance

That is pretty cool. Rare could mean rare in the trade, not necessarily rare in the ocean.

But I would add that with caution honestly. Crabs are opportunistic in general. That says its aggressive so...
