Help ID'ing a crab
Look what I found in my live rock ... Can anyone ID it?
More important, is it reef-safe? It's hard to tell from the pics, but the shell almost seemed to have a green cast to it, and the shell & legs are smooth, not hairy. Sorry for the pic - quality, the crab is small (~1.5cm carapice) and I had the lights off so he wouldn't hide while I tried to get a picture of him  Vic

Okay, so assuming I can catch my little Lucifer crab, can I toss him in the sump, or should I use him in a very small bisque?

 , but the idea has some potential ... Hmmm, "How many Triggers/Puffers does it take to crack a crab's shell ... ?"

So I tried the baited shot-glass trick last night, using a 3" tall tumbler with a 2" mouth.
Put some frozen clam meat that I had left over from making my homemade frozen reef gruel - all good, until the Half-yellow Blue Damsels smelled it. 5-mins, empty tumbler, smug Damsels  Plan-B: cover 1/2 the mouth with Saranwrap. More News, tomorrow. Vic
