well this post really took off eh? left the post at 6 replies and now its up to 25! all you night owls posting at 2 am. Chin the crab looks like a squat llobster/porcelin crab. Two large front brown claws tucked underneath its "chin" the rest of the body is white, looks like the crabs at the beach in van if you pick up a rock. hes a little bit bigger than a toonie. I'm starting to put the puzzle together, I've lost a yellow clown goby and a watchman goby mysteriously, with no remains. both we healthy and well fed, but overnight....gone. I've seen close to 10 crabs in my tank, and they havent caused to much harm, a couple have red eyes though kinda creepy. Im not goin to go to all the hassle of hunting them all down, i just think that that would casue more stress to the fish and corals, than leavin them. I have mostly bigger fish now, and a big ass checkerboard wrasse that will keep them in check ( thanks gobigirl)
thanks for all the posts, the CBB isnt looking any better and still isnt feeding. Hope for the best
