It was insane to watch but I was shocked at how vicious a little crab can be and from that point, I NEVER give any crab the benefit of the doubt.

The one you have pictured looks so much like the one I had taken pics of though I can not positively say it is identical but it does look similiar enough for me to chime in....


Cheers.

Thanks everyone.

WhatIgot: Hmm maybe that's why, at two seperate times, my mimic tangs disappeared. The b.s.a.d!!!

There is a bigger crab still lurking. Saw him skitter last night, thats why I set the trap.
Anyone got a fool-proof crab trap design?
Thanks
