Crab ID please?

just a quick point of future reference when dealing with crabs...if they have pointed claws(as this one does), get it out of your tank.

What a cute pup.

 

Yoshiod has a good point.. I generally make it a rule try to take out any weird new things I find in my tank until I figure out what they are and what they eat.

i have several of these for the past yr. and mine look very similar to the pics.

 

ive never seen them nibble on any coral. i have watched them pick at the rock for algae many many times.

 

i agree with the above thoughts, but i just kept an eye on mine to see if the corals are affected, but nothing after a yr.

 

ive had emeralds go after my zoos/xenia instead though. and they were immed. removed.

 

so for my tanks, i like these little crabs. they seem to be harmless in my tanks.
