reef hugger Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 It is a crab and it would probably be a good idea to get it out of your tank. Most are vey predatory and will take out livestock left and right, especially the clean-up crew. Link to comment
mushroom head Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Could be a teady bear crab. Link to comment

icyoud2 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 go about catching the little bugger? he lives inside that hole, and i've seen him 10 in 4 months.lol i have 40+ pounds of live rock and hes about 1/2 up a 30 gal tall tank. the rock itself is big, and not an easy one to remove from the pile. to make matters worse it has 10 orange shrooms on the rock (which he has never bothered)he plays in the channels in the rock under the shrooms, but never leaves the protection of the caves he lives in? any ideas would be appreciated.
