Do the taste test, if initial bites seem bland or bitter, try some melted garlic butter.
Seriously ID is a lot easier with a pic

The picture you posted in the other thread wasnt a green crab, most people call those asian shore crabs and theres lots in long island. i dont think they survive in reef climates.
