Bad crab

[speedstar]

any idea how big he is? found this floating in water tonight. I can;t beleive i have yet to spot him. I'm betting he has been snacking on milli polyps though. Anybody know if this is a SPS type predator or fish or what.

In general terms its the hairy crabs which are the real demons so you will probably be ok. However - if you want to catch it place some food in a glass jar and leave it over night. The crabs can get in but not out as they can't cling to glass.

Big claws arent good. Did someone say demons ?

I have a teddy bear crab (http://www.flickr.com/photos/habitatnews/18075529/)
in my dt he's about 2" across the carapace and the worst thing he's done is snip of a couple of dead zoas from my first ever frag job. oh and he's pulled off a couple of sponges to decorate his home!
