I'll try again in a couple of hours.

I'm shocked by this one. It's a little un-nerving.
If I'm not mistaken, that would be the elusive 'homosapion eat-em-upous'
They have been known to pull reefers into the tank, eat them and use their bones to build a pretty little home.

Better be careful....

No, I actually enjoy crabs in th etank, and unless I catch them doing bad stuff, they are welcome to stay.

In the navy crabs are a bad thing, never mind what they're doing, it's bad. Anyway....

I dislike crabs in my tanks, as well. We have a sharp, long, small diameter computer screw driver that we use to skewer them through the body. Not a psychologically easy thing for me to do, but it works much better than tongs or tweezers. Just remember to remove the body from the tank.
