Phormictopus sp green

[peterUK]

I have 'Full Green' slings (still blue like all Phormictopus slings) and 'Green' (gold carapace) juvies and no green is visible anywhere on their body in any light.
In fact the green (gold carapace] has a metallic purple/pink carapace but I have been told that when adult the green will be on the femurs

I have juveniles female and male of this species and the female has a slight purplish sheen on her, her brother is still blueish but is starting to get just brownish hairs.. Definitely no green.

Pics- Female in the first pic, male in the second.

I still think this species is just a some kind of variation of P.Cancerides. Still love their attitudes and feeding responses though.
