Xtra Large EE or Ruggie?

[Foxydiva3]

Im not quite sure. I was on a trip to Rhode Island this past weekend and came across a local hole in the wall pet store. I was not planning on buying any crabs but when I Looked in their tank there was a rather large crab in a see of small PP and to my surprise when he turned around I saw he had Candy corn eyes. I thought At first maybe a very poor taken care of straw so I Purchased him. But when I got him home he is def not a straw. He is a caramel brown and has black marks under the eyes on the stalks which makes me think Ruggie not EE, But Do they get that big? He Is Very Large, Ive never seen one this big before, I would say Extra large PP size but not Jumbo He Is much larger than a Golf ball But Not Quiet a Base Ball . So I thought I Post to see what others thought. All my ees and other ruggies are small guys so Is this on of them or another species? Thanks!

Take a photo of his extra thick leg at different angles and I'll be able to tell you if it is an E or a rug.
