Looks like H. trilineatus. Male one too.

Very nice H.trilineatus male with enormous chela. Maybe not captive bred, but imported

Beat me to it. But if it was sold as one and it looks like one....it probably is one.(or maybe not )

 

[Michiel]

Kugellager is right, the species H.trilineatus has many morphs, around 25, and includes lighter and darker form. In this case I recognize them, I have had very similar colored ones from Tanzania. Although my males did not have the same sized chela as this one does.
