Crab

[Reefwifey]

Anyone know what this guy is? He's hard to get a picture of because he blends in with the rock so well. He's very hairy, ick. Gorilla?

 

[surfn]

no way to tell. but if he's hairy, get him out.

if you arent sure, throw him in the sump/fuge.

Yikes! Honestly I don't know, never seen one like that before. Except a emerald crab whose legs are hairy like that... But your guy is mud brown!

:shock:

Could be a teddy bear crab, if so wants sumping ASAP!

you could always interceptor the tank, that'll take care of him ;-)

What is interceptor? Right now, he's the only living thing in there other than corals and pods. I'll set up a clear jar and some food and see if I can catch him. I don't have a sump....and as much as I dislike crabs, I hate to just kill him. I mean...its not his fault someone picked up his rock and I put it in my tank. Then again, I'm a Marylander, which means I regularly pound crabs with mallots, rip they're meat out by hand and eat it. LOL. He's too small to eat though.

Try a pop bottle (personal size) with an inverted top and bait. That's how I catch mine, doesn't hurt him at all and you can stick him inti the fuge.
