It even has the classic Cyriopagopus expression...LOL! But, yes, Stromatopelmas are pretty in their own way, and many people love them. However, I do believe it would look different than what we're seeing here. Perhaps that was just a statement of enthusiasm? Haha! You can't blame an enthusiast! :)

i'd say that spider is almost definitely Cyriopagopus sp, possibly "Singapore blue".
it doesn't look like any S calceatum i've seen:

though, interestingly this thread www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=70297
has a "Cyriopagopus blue" male, which looks a bit like a S calceatum... and i've done some looking and found more...
so male Cyriopagopus blue's look like S calceatum?? weird...
but i haven't seen any S calceatum that look like female Cyriopagopus sp...

so it looks like the misidentification, if there was any, should've happened in the reverse direction!
