Could be a female Cherax 'Blue Moon' in my opinion.

Hi lucasjiang,

How you know is a female? By looking at the claws?

Meaning to say the photo below is a male? Please advise. Thanks

From the size of the claws you can tell. This is rather subjective but I think in this case it's quite a distinct difference. The second picture does look like a male. A more accurate way is through looking at the pores on the legs. You can google for pics to tell that way.
