Reef Cow!

Anybody heard of these? Or the actual name Caribbean King crab?
Seem sort of like alaskan king crab but for tropical region.
I've never seen them for the aquarium trade but they seem like they would be extremely helpful for algae control.

"At first I saw nothing but a scum-covered reddish rock until…one really large claw bumped my mask and I realized the red rock was a rather large crab with a claw seemingly the size of Manhattan."

Probably not a good fit for my 2 gallon jarquarium.

LOL.. that's hilarious
yeah I've heard that pretty huge, but for a lot of the larger mixed reef aquariums I think that just getting some baby ones would be effective. Then do whatever you want with them as the grow.. maybe eat 'em! Start harvesting those bad boys when they get some size
