Hey.

In Turkey, in west Anatolia, on Eğirdir lake coast, under almost every stone you can found these guys
Any ideas about ID ?

Wow I checked out the lake @ Google Earth, it's a huge lake. So, obviously a true fresh water crab, or is that lake brackish at all? I like the idea of keeping fresh water crabs, but sorry, I don't know the sps name.

It's the biggest fresh water lake in Turkey. Many other lakes are brackish or salty (becaus of volcano activity).
