Wow ! Thanks for the ID, I have his rather large and nasty twin brother in my tank as we speak. He has recently moved and remodelled his lair... How did you catch him? Did he cause problems or damage in your tank?

That's an awesome picture! I love the silhouette on the rock.

Here's mine:

It's too bad you can't embed (least I don't know how to) video into these posts because shortly after I took that shot the crab started doing somersaults, rolls, and basically putting on a gymnastics routine for me. I was mighty impressed considering I hardly ever get to see that thing.

Here's a rare daytime pic
