addam4208283 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 not sure if it was that. although that crab was an inch long and the one that i saw wasn't even half and inch. i guess i will have to wait and see what it turns out to. ADAM Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Did it have a flat, rounded carapace? Any stripe? Look kinda like this? http://www.reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/acrocrab.htm Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 be careful of hitchhiker crabs... they usually turn out to be hairy crab or gorilla crab. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 It's a random hitchhiker crab and will grow alrger and eat algae and any fish it can catch (usually while they sleep). It's not a porcelain crab, which rarely comes in as a hitchhiker. Remove it. Or kill it. Link to comment
