pippin10 Posted November 16, 2014 #451 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Morning all, I believe it is the Purple Swift-footed Shore Crab. Purple Swift-footed Shore Crab. Here is more information than you can ever possibly want but ....... why not :D Leptograpsus variegatus Features Carapace has broadly rounded edges; strong tooth behind eyes; legs long and flattened; claws purple above and white below. To 80 mm across, but usually smaller. Notes On rocky coasts exposed to strong surf, sheltering in crevices and under rocks from mid to high tide mark. Very fast and difficult to catch. Scavenger and carnivore. Southern and subtropical Australia; Indo-Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also pretty sure that it is the same crab as the Purple Rock Crab mentioned by Miccanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
