Has been moving around all week but is now a sandy/greenish color. Is this normal or do you think it was dyed? Have heard this is done to anemones and corals. Everything seems to be doing fine but just thought that was odd.

LFS in Vero Beach, I guess it's a decoraor crab. They had it labled as a sponge crab but i think they are the same thing, I may be wrong though.
