Some type of Procambarus species. Cannot even being to make an ID with just a lateral view, especially without knowing any information like where it came from.

thats the issue....... I got it as a feeder crayfish from a Preuss Pets here in Lansing, MI. I believe they get them from a farm in Flordia. This is the only cray that has survived in this tank.... every other cray I put in the tank we eaten by the Bluegill and green sunfish.

Probably something like P. alleni, P. clarkii, or P. acutus. Without the pictures I note necessary in the identification sticky thread that's the best someone can confidently offer.
