Not sure Ana, 2+ years ago when I got it from you , you said it was a female. Although it was small then and I never double checked. Looks female-ish to me though.:cool:

Later, Tom

P.cancerides males have a very striking metallic purple colour while females tend to have more gold/bronze iridescences.
