Meh, bans suck.
He's not actually an 'electric blue', that's a species from Florida. Mine is from Australia - Cherax Quadricarinatus (called Quads). They get blue in them because of an affect that flourescent light has on the them, it's not their normal color... mine actually has quite a bit of reddish-orange in him, trying to match the sand, I guess.
He's also missing a claw at the moment. He decided to leave the tank, fall 4 ft, and meet the cat.
