Free Evil Crab

[georgie1]

Hi Mike! Thanks for taking them. Are you housing them in the same tank? Just wondering if they tolerated each other.( they were in seperate tanks here) Thanks for the many complements on my anemone!I am sure you could tell the tank revolves around it.. Honestly I don't have a favorite, ..... When I purchased it ( thanks Earl) I caught alot of grief from people saying it was very difficult and even aquariums and such can't keep them for over a year and so on. As you can see at least 4 years later, it's still here... Please keep me updated about the crabs

i have three compartments to my sump/fuge. my BIG gorilla crab is in the first one, the black one above is in the center, and the teddy/gorilla is in the third until i can figure out if he's reef safe. his eyes aren't red, but his claws are so pointy...

Are his eyes blue? my rule of thumb is if it is hairy, large clawed and any black on the claws...it aint going in my reef!

Mike, I have been doing some reading and I think most of it does point to him having to live in your sump

little update

the black crab somehow moved from the center of the sump to the inlet side of the sump, and kicked the monster gorilla crab out. they must be able to climb up the silicone or something, cause the baffles are 14" tall lol.

the gorilla is now in the first bubble trap lol, and the rock crab has taken up residense in the pvc fittings under my skimmer.
