crab?
 

Hi,
We manage to take some much clearer picture. We thought its not that harmful. Can someone confirm it?

Many thanks!

Red eyes = bad

Update: I thought I saw something with a bright blue head stick its mellon out of my new gsp rock last night. Plus I know I saw a bristle worm the day before. Firefish still missing.

Bottle trap weekend coming up. Any idea what has a bright turquoise blue head and lives in a rock? BTW my significant other is the one who found and dealt with the dead fish and shrimp and he told me last night he did not inspect them very well. Too sickened by the whole deal.

crab?
 

as Im arranging my live rocks, 2 more of these kind of crab came out :surprise:
one thing for sure is that this crab were growing as the biggest that I have is half inch in length...

any body can identify what kind of crab is this?


thanks,

ludwig

How in the "h e double hockey sticks" can you see red eyes on that thing? I can't see ANY eyes. LOL

In the first photo posted I can definately see red eyes - unless I am halucinating again.

when i pulled out all my live rock a few days ago for aquascaping.... i was grossed out as to what came out of my rock. The rock had only been in there for 2 months and in that time i saw some huge massive flat pink worms that looked like centipedes crawling out the bottom of my rocks spanning out to over a foot in total length... was so gross......

On top of that, i pulled a black crab out 1/2 an inch long with pure red eyes... exactly like the one you listed.

I remember there was a thread on canreef about this crab before and people advised that it was a good thing.. big beefy creb, red eyes... = no no ..... as they thought it was attacking there livestock. This particular one was eating a massive piece of squid i put in there for my predators.

So if in doubt..... chuck it out..... so Martha 'Mad Dog' Mantis was introduced to him in my other tank.... i think they had fun together as there was lots of clicking that night.

I see red eyes too, Ruth. Unless we're both hallucinating!

Jeez - just when the voices stopped now this:mrgreen:
