I second that.

It looks to have fairly small claws wich is sometimes considered as an indication that it is safe. Personally though, I would banish it to your sump or refugium to be safe.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll keep him out of the tank. Since I don't have a sump/fuge setup at the moment is there a preferred method of humanely 'putting him to sleep'? Or, if someone in Edmonton wants him....

Oookay, but I'm not shipping him to Maple Ridge... I like the microwave pic, that's a good one.
