Thats very close to what it looks like, but with white tips on its claws? Are they dangerous to anything in my tank?

It's a dark brown body whit white tips at the end of its claws, it's legs are hairy with white and gold stripes and godt tips. It's about the size of a quarter. I need a better pic.

I used water right out of the tap. Took about 10 seconds

Got the hitchhiker out of the LR, here it is. Any ideas what I got?

Crab Pic

The dip worked, took about 15 seconds. Here's a pic, it's not great but I don't own a dig. camera. It has wite tips on both its claws, Its a dark brown with white and gold stripes on its legs, and gold tips. Any ideas, it doesn't look that harmful.

how easy is the rock to break?

SO how would I do this? Just put the LR in a bucket of fresh water. Should I treat it, temp? How long? Will I need to do anything to the LR b4 i put it back in the tank?

So I have this nasty looking crab type thing living in my LR, however I cant get it out. It's a rather large and porus piece of what I think is Fiji rock. I am plannint on taking out of the tank and breaking it in half in a seperate container. I dont think there is a large enough opening for...

That probably not possible, it's deep in the rock and I need a flashlight to see it. I'm tempted to break the rock in half. I doesn't look all that friendly. I left some empty shells all around the LR hoping it will take to 1 of them, but I'm doubting it.

I have a rather pourous 20 lbs chunk of LR, today, inside I saw what I think is a crab, but nothing I put in the tank. It was tan and black, kind of furry looking like a spider, with sharp gold nails on the end of its legs. It was rather large, about the size of a half dollar from what I...

Move went well. All is good. I will post pics tomorrow. Tank looks wonderful. Couldn' t make the switch to LS like I wanted, $, I'm a poor college student. Thanks for all the help. Brian

Thats what he was talking about. My tanks is good and I bought formula two frozen alge with vitamins and nutrients. I'm also using brine and mesis (sp), as well as omega 1 flake. It should be a good diet for it. I'm just wondering if it can spread to my other fish. The emperor was abused...

I got an Emperor Angel, and according to the guy who gave it to me it has "hole in the head", some sort of disease. He said I dont need to medicate just good water and proper diet. What should I do? What is this disease? What am I looking for in the fish? His color is really white twords...

I'm gonna have 22 gallons of good water in the end, with the rest going in tomorrow. I have TLC whice is a bacteria and nitrate remover and ammolock. Should I put ammolock in the tubs with livestock on the way up and then use the tlc in the tank when it is set up?

Dodge Stratus. The rock and coral are going in the trunk. the livestock will be buckeled in the back. I am only going to have about 8 gallons of water waiting. I was hopoing to use the water in the tank now. 2 five gallon buckets will only have water, no livestock. Will this be OK? Light...
