johnmaloney Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Portunus species, (I think) but I don’t know which one. Little hand here? Nice looking crab. Definitely an “evil” crab not reef safe etc... Florida seagrass resident. 3 Quote Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 The species should be listed here: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/358b/d1bde25d1b44476cce9b1b36afa3e697ef67.pdf So just do me a favor and google image a few hundred of those until you find it and let me know. Worse comes to worse if you can't find it when you are done let me know and I will submit it as a new species and take full credit. Thanks Nano Reef! 😋 2 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Oddly enough the clown grab has been reef safe for me if you don't include paly's. He hasn't touched my other softies/LPS/SPS or any other small fish/inverts.... but man when I dangle a paly in front of his face... he comes running for that dinner bell! 2 1 Quote Link to comment

This hobby has so many people and with video technology... we can find out so much more about so much about species behavior. 2 Quote Link to comment

That is one of the coolest crabs that I have seen, very much like tamberavs clown crab. You thinking about selling him? If you do, I definitely will take him😂 2 Quote Link to comment
