    Should this be in invertibrates, vivarium or marine? Can't decide.

    Caught these crabs during my 'expedition' at Changi boardwalk this morning.

    Can someone help to id them?

    1) Swimmer Crab (Swift Mover Esp. the claws)
    2) POSSIBLY a red egg crab (Occasionally Poisonous)
    3) Stone crab (Only Claws are edible)

    I like to go to the beach to look at marine life during low tide so i know a little about crabs...

    If you cacth these ar the board walk, then it is mostly marine crabs. I agreed that the above ID, although the 1st crab is a different kind of swimmer crab from those that we eat for seafood.
