    Mitrax are sometimes hitch hikers but I can buy them at my LFS.

    Unless your particular LFS specializes in selling gorilla crabs, the only mithrax offered is the emerald; but beware, as they, too, are prone to becoming increasingly destructive as they mature.

    Mithrax crabs are usually only sold as emeralds, green or red, which as mr bill said, are not always friendly either.

    The ID for the OP's crab is some type of gorilla crab, an all together terror to reef tanks and something no LFS should sell.
