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

What's your favorite fish?
You can have whatever you want haha!
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 you have money just burning a hole in that pocket huh
That's horrible news! I'm in the same boat up here in Iowa. I love to dive, just none of my friends do
I love your tube anemones!
