Doesn't look much like my two P. Cancerides at all. They are significantly less dark than that, more a metalic copper color, even when freshly molted.

I'm not sure, looking through pics it seems like they can be be quite variable in appearance. But mine both look very similar to each other, and not like that at all. I don't own a p. auaratus, unfortunately.

Phormictopus maybe a different one ? Looks similar to some Pamphobeteus too.
