Hitch Hiker Crab Black Fingered Mud crab - Xanthid crab?

[smaier6]

Hi,
I wanted to reach out to the specialists and contributors of Reef Central and ask a question about this possible crab I have found in my tank in my Figi Rock Black Fingered Mud crab - Xanthid crab.

Does anyone else know if this crab in the link at the bottom of this thread is a Black Fingered Mud Crab? I have pasted the link below

I have lost 3 clams bodies totally eaten out and lost some green zoos. Will this crab eat other corals or invertebrates?

If this is indeed a predator do you recommend a fresh water dip to kill it?

I do not have a sump.

Thanks
Steve

I am not sure if a freshwater dip will do the trick. But there are methods of getting unwanted inverts out. Try the bottle trap method, club soda, like you said maybe a freshwater dip, or someone else here might have better idea. Like I said in your other post, to bad you don't live closer I would like to take them off your hands. I hope these suggestions help. And sorry to hear about your loss.
