calico crabs How to tell is male or Female???

[Shadechic23]

Does anyone know how to tell between male an female of the Calico Crab??

I don't know. Did you get one? If so, why? They are really bad predators and super aggressive -- they will eat fish, clams, corals, inverts, basically everything else in your tank. Cute, but there's a reason why they aren't normally available in the hobby.

Also it is super hard to raise any larva if they do breed, so there really is no point in trying to find a male/female pair
