I can see it but not enough to identify. Does not really look like a gorilla crab but when in doubt, get it out! I would at least put it in the sump for the time being.

Better picture or clean your glass.

Turn off the "oil paint" filter on your camera
Those rocks are straight up Bob Ross!!!.. Lets paint some "happy rocks"..

I need to clean the glass, lazy me. It's hard to get a pic w/out zooming. It's actually just tropic eden sand.

I don't have a sump.

sorry the pics are giant. if you scroll over to the right, he's in them. This is only the 2nd time I've seen him in the tank and was surprised I was even able to snap a few pics.

can't really tell from the grainy pix but as long as the crab claws aren't pointy/sharp or there's no black claw tip, it's safe to keep. This is what gorilla crab looks like, if it is u want to remove it. Had one in tank and ate my serpent star.

Well this morning there was either a dead crab or a shell but it had the black claws. I'll keep an eye out for it. I couldn't tell if it was a dead one or a shell. Almost seemed like a dead one but something tells me I probably
wasn't that lucky.

Probably not that lucky, crabs are pretty tough critters and the shell is most likely just a molt.
