![]() Hi there,
I found a crab last night in the tank and was wondering if anyone could ID for me. Thought maybe it was a emerald crab but not sure if its possible for them to have red eyes? Thanks for the help. Last edited by Oxymoron; 05-19-2009 at 07:04 AM. |

![]() Definitely bad, I have one too but he now lives in my sump. Like Drew said red eyes = bad and so does big claws. That type of crab has both.
