sps colony random whiting

[ali1]

So I found my sps colony to have spotted bleaching. Doesn't start from one place, just random areas of bleaching. This evening I took a look at it again and found this crab on it. Is he a no-no or a keeper? The rest of my sps are fine. My water parameters are in check.

Any suggestions is appreciated

He looks like a bad crab. If that we're the case I could see how the white patches are happening. Check for blue eyes

thanks bud. I tossed him anyway. Not risking sps for one crab.

When in doubt, throw them in the sump.

But usually black claws indicate a bad crab.

Looks like a bad crab to me and like everyone else has said no crab is worth dead SPS
