POLYP-EATING CRAB
I just saw this guy munching through half a dozen polyps!
He arrived on another rock that was purchased covered in polyps peering out of a cave -
I think....
The mystery crab seemed very white in the beginning before disappearing, molting once and then reappearing [?] This one is of course brownish in colour, but a very similar shape and size - can crabs change their colours as they mature?? SIZE: 1cm across carpace.
Didnt see him actually eat the polyps but its a case of now you see me now you dont as within 5mins of me not being there the polpys were not there! Perhaps its a case of unfair justice that he was merely 'seen' in the vicinity but hell, im not taking any chances!!!
I also noticed tear-marks in the mat of a large colony of polyps nearby...
