I'd say a Portunus sp..

They are born under a bad sign. They bin down since they began to crawl.

Its a gorrilla crab, im pretty sure that what there called it would be a toilet dweller in my house.

They are good for sumps. Not much else tho.

thank you all...

I thought that he looked too mean to be a nice neighbour to all my reef inhabitants.

Thanks again.
