Approx 1" across.

Real cute. Tiny black spots. No one at the LFS knew what it was.

Not sure it is actually called an Orange spotted crab, though.

Porcelain anemone crab. They are actually white but it looks like he has algae growing on him. They form a symbiotic relationship with anemones. One of the most peaceful crabs I know. Heres a pic of mine

they are super cool, youtube vids on it. I think they are hard to keep though. i have only been able to keep one alive for a few months.

They didn't have a price. I think they got it unknowingly, so i might be able to fenagl them into the price of the other crabs they had (5.99)
