I don't have any experience with them, but from what I've read yes he will eat your fish as well as destroy corals as he gets bigger. Maybe someone with a fuge will take him for you. I'd hate to see you flush him. He's just doing what nature intended him to do. He may end up being a very interesting species if you can keep him separate.

he's currently in my QT, and i'll try to put the other 2 i found in there once i get them out of my maze of LR.
i'd love to set up a fuge, but i don't know how to do it with my wet dry filter.

UMMMMM! yeah you need to get them out. I agree with the LFS trip.

i pulled out 2 more, and i KNOW i've seen more than the 2 i pulled out. this is just great... i have had an infestation of crabs for months and i never knew it.

Just don't let spouse/significant other/potential dates hear you say that.
