I've got crabs! Can anyone tell me if they are reef safe

[javman9]

Hello, looking for identification on a crab, it hitchhiked on a coral, reef safe? Or should I let it live in my refugium?

That looks like a gorilla crab to me. Definitely not reef safe or even safe around fish. I would toss the guy or bring him to the lfs(I think they use them sometimes for food) but I don't think it'll cause any harm if you throw him in the sump.

Furry and sharp claws....nope...banish him to the sump or flush.....all drains lead to the ocean <*((((--<<

Sump lord. All hail!

He is a coral serial killer.
