I've got crabs!!

Check this little dude out. I caught him tonight in my display tank, it thought it was a good idea to hide in the top rock. So was easy to remove. But with that said anyone know what it is?

Holding vessel with holes drilled until I can figure out what to do with it.

It is a BAD dude I do know that. Just look at those mean pointy claws. Kinda looks like a pom pom though?

Looks like a little acropora crab. Not the worst but he might enjoy life in your refugium just as much.:)

acro crab is what i thought too.

Looks like the crabs i have caught in my refugium, was told they were rock crusher crabs, not what you want in your display. Very aggressive. But apparently they make great food for cuttlefish!

I'm not sure what kind of crab it is, but if you are going to kill it then I will take it off your hands and feed it to my cuttlefish. :)

Oh yeah, man how is the cuttle fish doing. They are some awesome creatures for sure.

Louis helped me pulled a crab out of my tank a week ago. It was a monster that killer over $500 worth of fish. I finally got it out of my display. It's over 4".

He/She is still doing well. It has been over a year now, so I'm not sure how much longer it will live but it is still interesting to watch.
