Default Friend or Foe? A crab.
Take a look at my little friend here and let me know what you think. I've had mixed opinions on live rock crab tag alongs and am still undecided on what to do with them all. There are more in the rocks! Besides this one, there is a greyish hairy one, a light colored one with a dark face, and a dark purple hairy one. All are about 1 to 2 cm or so.

And if you want to snoop those links will take you to other photos of my tank at various stages.

Bad for the tank. Red eyes & Grabbing pinchers (not flat as in a herbivore).

Good to see you around Jason.

Good to know, I will keep up my crab trapping. I used the X-Terminator mantis shrimp trap... so far thumbs up for effectiveness. We'll see tonight if it works so well again!

I had a couple of these little buggers in my tank that I'm 99% sure attributed to 2 fish deaths before I could finally get them out. No good my friend. I hope you don't have more in your tank!

I bought it at Mail Order Pet Supplies www.mops.ca

I too have tried the bottle trap. I caught one of my own peppermint shrimps...!

We'll see if I catch anymore tonight!
