So about a month ago I found a hitchhiker crab, who didnt look pleasant at all. I didnt get him out when I had the chance, and he started to knock over coral and kill some of my hermits (found them ripped to pieces). Well about 10 minutes ago I found him hanging inbetween two rocks. So I tried to just get him by taking only those two rocks down, and catching him, but unfortunatly thats not how it worked out. I ended up having to move pretty much every piece of live rock in the tank :(. So somewhat of a sand storm for my fish and shrimp
(hopefully they will be ok). But I finally ot the crab, and its just a relief
.
Anyways here are two pics of him. What does it look like he is?Oh and you might not be able to tell from the pics, but he is hairy.

Hairy, black tipped pointy claws.........hmmmmmmmmm...........I would say he is a Refugium Crab, or if you don't have a fuge then he is a Porcelin throne crab and should be banished to either of those places.

Yeah big claw/little claw means predator right?
Crab = Predator 100% of the time. They are all opportunistic omnivores. This means they are just like us, they can be vegetarian but suddenly have a steak out of the blue. Others live on steak but scrounge the garbage once in a while.
