Haha right, he doesnt nessesarily have to be stomped, I would keep any I found if I had a tank set-up for them, but the one I had was eating the macro-algae in my sump, and I was in a rush to fix all the problems on my tank, lol.

Remember - we have people who are keeping mantis' who would love to get some cheap food

Rock crabs can/will take down fish when larger, seen one reach out of a live rock hole with one giant claw, and snap down on a 3" fish that died instantly.

Bad Crab, my Peacock would love him... She's ate a few already.

I've actually had one in my first tank ages ago, and yes they will take out ur fish!! If u can isolate it then do it if not try ur best to get them all out.
