Meet Fang...the Sally Lightfoot
Fang is a little seen resident of the tank who is not very photogenic (shy). He's been in the tank now for about 2 years. I don't think he is getting any larger at this point.
I managed to get a reasonably complete moult out of the tank the other day, so this is a good shot of his hollow outsides. As you can see, he's a pretty fair size! Those of you who are keeners for detail will note that the back two legs are missing from this moult. In the 2nd photo, you might be able to see why he is named Fang. (the moult retains all his unique colorations)

I run some phosban, probably not enough. It is rare that I get any kind of reading on the Hanna LR phosphate photometer.

Wow! Fang is awesome
 I had no idea they got that big. I guess you don't have any small fish for him to catch. I had one about half his size when I started out. I could watch him eat gobies for lunch catching them if they swam too close to his rock.

What kind of crab? It reminds me of the crab alien things from that (really cheesy) remake of Lost in Space from around 12 years ago...

I agree it sorta looks like one, but I also thought it looked a little different. Then again I've never seen one that big so what do I know.
