Chopper Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I caught this little crab in my biocube 29 and was wondering If anyone can tell me what it is? Reef safe or not? It is brown colored and the right claw is much bigger than the left one. Thnak you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It looks kinda like a "fur less" gorrilla crab which should be taken out. Look first very closely at the ends of the claws, algae eating crabs will have flat "spoons" like Emerald crabs for scrapping algae off rock. Preditory crabs will have sharp points for grabing and holding on to prey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nano Reefer Ky Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I personally would take this one out. Many crabs can turn evil, even emerald green crabs can turn. Excelent point about the claws. These look ready for a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
