Sump has my vote.....just dont forget he is in there. I let my daughter cure some rock in my sump. She was over a few days after she set up her tank telling me about these cute little hitchhiker crabs she got.

Brown one with red eyes? Kill it I've had two(that I know of) in my tank & they just love to eat the growth tips off my sps! Oh, and zoa's, another favorite snack! There's still one in there & when I catch him, he'll wish for the sump Unless someone out there want's to save him?

Put it into the freezer is the most humane way of disposing of it. Nothing positive about these crabs in a reef tank.
