This is a picture of one of my 3 pink indos,
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n401 ... CN6580.jpg
it came from LHC.
LHC says that the pink is a genetic mutation and that this is not a new species.
ELHC had said it was a new species.
or perhaps they have different versions of pink indos.
What are your thoughts?

Re: The Pink Indo
If it was a new species, then it shouldn't be able to produce viable offspring with the ordinary purple indos. I couldn't find any mentioning of 'Coenobita brevimanus roseus' on the scientific journal databases nor I have I seen any of ELHC's data, so I don't know.
