ahh you guys.

you a right my camera sucks. instead of spending all my money and more on the tank I should seriously upgrade my camera...

it has a macro mode and I know how to use is (thanks for asking though), but the problem is that at night with just the moon led light on I can't see on what I zoom in. have tried it a few times and found that some surrounding rocks are real clear but not the crab that I actually wanted to have on the picture. so I'm pretty blind and just shoot 100 pictures hoping that I can zoom in on the file but .... well.. that doesn't work as we can all see, (or not see for the people that don't even see the attachment)

I guess I will have to wait and see what happens. Even if it is a Xanthid (or whatever they are called) non of the articles I read really went into details "how" destructive they are. He seems pretty cute and was just eating some algae off the rock. could there really be a waiting to be released?

does the form of the pincher give away whether the crab is predatory or not?

how would one even catch a crab without taken all rocks out?

Try this, get an extra pair of hands (ask someone, it is easier than growing your own) find your crab and have the person spotlight it with a bigflashlight then flash the pics before he has the chance to run.
