Paranormal tank Need ID help Again

[Huly]

Ok we saw this guy crawling on one of our Acros.  Any idea what kind of crab he is and is he good or bad?

 

 

 

 

[zygote2k]

need a better pic to identify. many types of acro crabs though.

[Huly]

Hard to get a better photo but found this and he looks exactly the same and from what I read not good

Thoughts?

[zygote2k]

bring it to me and I'll put it into a tank where it can live with some acros.

[Huly]

Won't it eat them?

[sachabballi reef]

have you learned nothing about having crabs in that tank yet? lol...

 

pull it...

[Huly]

We have it out separate. I was going to see if you want it lol

[sachabballi reef]

does it have blue eyes or black tipped claws?

[netpez]

does it have blue eyes or black tipped claws?

 

Tannish body, white eyes with a little orange hue around the eyes. black tipped claws. fuzzy body

 

I swear I feel like someone is trying to sabotage my corals LOL

[sachabballi reef]

We just sipped the Acros 2 weeks ago. Nothing has been added but 1 fish and 1 live rock. Uuuuggghhh

[sachabballi reef]

probably hitchhiked in on the LR..

[sachabballi reef]

or its been in there all this time and was just crazy small and has grown enough to forage around

[MBVette]

Hold it till I get home. Then I'll feed it to my tusk and video it for you.

there's just something wrong with that.....  

[MBVette]

She wants it gone and I'm sure the tusk is hungry (it's always hungry). So supply and demand. Lol

Sump it. Don't let it back on the acro. Or feed it to Scott's tusk

[netpez]

Think it is going to go where the alligators go

[swimmatte]

Gorilla crab?  I agree though, looks like a meanie.

[DaveS]

Hairy with blue eyes= bad acro crab.

[zygote2k]

It sounds like this pack is out for blood- kill it and ask the questions later or put it back into the acropora.

[SunWyrm]

So tiny!  Just put it somewhere it can be happy... Or at the very least make a tusk happy lol.

[Huly]

This one is very tiny!  It would not even be an app for your tusk lol.  He is really cute but we are not risking our corals lol.  I think I should give it to Jenn's kids.  They can have a mini crab tank LOL

[Incredible Corals]

Put it in our nano tank at the store
