All people need to do is google, I'm sure somebody will think they got a bargain :eek:

Red Eyed Reef Crab
Eriphia smithi
Family Menippidae
Order Decapoda

This is a common aggressive crab in areas where there are large littoral rock formations. They have bright red eyes, powerful pincers and great agility. They forage during low tide for molluscs. Relatives are thought to be poisonous, and this crab should be avoided. (Shell width up to 6cm).<!-- #EndEditable -->

As said before they will sell anything on Ebay, there should be a body doing monitoring for the livestock that gets sold on there. Twiggy:D:D
