My best guess is that it is a gorilla crab. I do not believe it to be a xanthid crab, as it does not have black claws.

We caught it with the shrimp in the tipped glass trick. Ugly thing. Thanks for all your help.

We are so frustrated with this situation and have spent so much money. Would love to keep this fish, but the shop owner has agreed to refund our money and take the fish back. He is going to see what he can do, and if he can heal it, we are welcome to take him back. He thinks that it may have...

The box read 24 count, and I know we used the entire box over a five-day period. Again, it is a 30-gal tank.

I read that I shld put 2 tbsp of epsom salt for every 5 gal into the tank and then do it again in three days, with a small water change in between. Anyone heard of this?

I think I agree. Looks like a gorilla crab. However, I cannot remove the specific rock as all my rocks are glued together. This is in my pico/nano tank (8 gal) and I have only four rocks. I will check out Google to see what my other options are for getting this guy out, and then what to do...

What if smfoister is correct, and it's a gorrila crab? Only way to tell is if it's tips turn black?

What is the best way to get it out of my tank. Of course, it is quick to hide in the rock.

He is pretty tiny and hard to see but they appear to be the same color as the rest of his body.

So we found this little guy in our new "coral and two tiny fish" tank last night. It has two front claws, which you cannot see in this picture. What is it and how harmful is it?

The QT is a 30 gallon tank, which he has been in for about three months now. He will go back into our 75 gallon if he ever gets better. However, in August, we are making the move to a 210 gallon tank, and he will move into that tank, as I know he will get to be large and need the room. It is...

I will have to get back to you on the type of antibiotics used. I can't recall from memory. The picture was taken when the fish was in our display tank but it has been in the quarantine tank for about three months, and the water conditions have been perfect. Except for the time when we were...

I bought a juvenile blue angelfish back in September, 2014. In October, just a few weeks later, we noticed the blue angelfish had popeye. We treated the entire tank (75 gallon) with an antibiotic from the fish store. The fish did not get better. We then took him out and put him in a hospital...

We've had our 75 gal/8 fish only tank for about 6 mths. What do we need to know about getting our tank ready for while we are gone?

I was told when I bought the Hippo that she could be in there for a couple of years but I would have to move her to a bigger tank eventually. Problem is, she won't swim anywhere - not in the clownfish territory or anywhere. She stays in the cave she found. They are Ocellaris Clownfish.

We are newbees to the Saltwater Fish Tank World. After we got our tank ready, we first added two clownfish. They did not pair at all, but were eating fine, and swimming all over our 75g tank. After several weeks, we added the Blue Hippo Tang. The Tang adjusted just fine, ate well, and was a...
