prowler666 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 This crab hitchhiker that came with my live rock from Great Barrier Reef seems to live and feed off my staghorn type rock. Is it a safe crab to have in my tank? My Bi color blennie is always resting on top of the rock where the crab lives but it just seems to go about breaking pieces off the rock and feeding himself.

caja Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Any chance we can get a full body shot? Are his legs fuzzy or smooth? Link to comment
Acoustic Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 It's okay little one. It's just a variation of an emerald crab from the mithrax family. If they don't get enought algae to eat they will molest things. So better be ready to give it some brine shrimpies. Link to comment
prowler666 Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 I'll try for a better photo but he moves between the rock and is hard to catch on camera. He has hairy legs and is about 3 inches across its body not including claws. Link to comment
brahm Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 looks like a hairy crab to me! I think mine has been sneaking around to other peoples tank on this board lately.. See http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=19470 Link to comment
