seabass Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 IDK, looks like a Mithrax crab to me. I'm not sure how reef-safe it might be. All crabs can be opportunistic feeders. Hitchhiker crabs, in general, can be a bit of a risk. I tend to error on the side of being safe and taking them out when I get the opportunity. But that just my take on them. Quote Link to comment
mje113 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch him... I should also note that he's missing a claw and a couple legs. He's very white, but I guess that could be pre-molt? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Any missing limbs should full regenerate after a couple of molts. Sometimes they appear half-formed after the first molt, then are fully formed after the next. Quote Link to comment
