UGH...We knew we had some type of 'hitchhiker' crab in one of the newer rocks....but only caught a glimpse of it once or twice......
Then we had the "mysterious" missing fishies....then the whole tank disaster.....
Well, finally found the same litte booger last night.....twice as big as before and looking rather menacing.....Identical to the one in above photo...
He's gone--nuff said!
Looks like the one we have. I think the store called him a black claw reef crab (I believe). Can eat some soft corals they said and possibly small fish and snails. He's still in the tank somewhere and so far all fish accounted for. But they said it's not likely he would be able to catch our damsels.
I should say I think he's in the tank still. Haven't been able to see him for some time. But, I know he was in the tank about a month ago. Not a sign of him since.
damn getting unwanted crabs sucks :(
