This is why I hate crabs! They turn into monsters. I had one in my reef, (a little smaller than yours), that killed hundreds of dollars worth of corals before I finally was able to spear it with a metal turkey skewer. Then the hermits in my frag tank took out a bunch of zoas. Corals are hard enough to raise without some 8-legged, stalk-eyed monster snacking on them. KILL THEM!!!

a little while longer you could eat him for a snack instead of him eating every thing in your tank...

Really cool markings!

I can see losing coral, zoa's and stuff that doesn't move, but I find it hard to believe a crab can go fishing. Unless the fish are slow as malasses.

Cool find, throw him in the sump.

All the "bad" crabs I have seen are fast as lightning. I had two in my 20 at one point and good luck trying to get them. Even look the wrong way and flash! GONE!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
