That's cool. I think you should fly down to Taiwan and get one.

There are a few species of Strawberry crabs FYI. The one in the article is newly discovered. The one Kody72 has is probably one of the normal ones you see all the time.

I think the Taiwanese one looks cooler - and it still has that "new" crab smell!
