looks like a stone crab to me.. they get huge and devour everything... They were also too smart for the traps I tried.. had to remove all of the rocks from my tank to get them out. (Once I almost netted one.. then they feared me.. so don't make any mistakes if you try to net him.. be his buddy.. feed him... then strike without warning with multiple nets) -I got mine from tampabay saltwater live rock. I waited too long and they ate a lot of cool things in my tank before I finally decided to take drastic measures. (mostly starfish and shrimp)


I know some people have had luck with a piece of acrylic tube with a sharp pointy end.. and stabbing them when they venture out...

definitely looks like a stone crab claw... delicious. but not reef safe.

you can uh, keep it in a QT tank and rip off 1 claw per year to eat.. technically not illegal :D

Bigger tank?
Lol with a tank your size couldn't you have one and he take care of his own territory and just leave the others be?



Lmao lord knows. Im setting up a 220 in the media room. I may put one in there :-)

That's horrible news! I'm in the same boat up here in Iowa. I love to dive, just none of my friends do



Gotta enjoy it through my aquarium. Finally got the stand for the 220 so we should have the system up and running in a month or so. Got some new fish in the tank today. Also finally got the WAV pumps up and running. Gotta say I love the pumps thus far although I definitely like the look of the MP 60s more. Here are some pics of the new inmates lol
