LOL... 1/2 the people are saying... aww its cute! The other half are saying: Kill it with Fire!

I have crab issue lol...when we were on this very very remote Tahitian island and walking to our hut I asked our guide what all the huge Holes were (like the size your dog tears up in your yard huge) as they were everywhere...he said "oh those are just crabs" I walked silently trying to digest that. When we got to our hut one of them came crawling past and was bigger than a dinner plate!! I near passed out. I ran up the 5 rather tall and large stairs to the hut. That night I was laying in bed and told my husband I was scared to close my eyes because a crab was going yo get me (our attached bathroom had 4 walls no roof and I was sure it was going to scale the was) he told me I was crazy as there were 5 more huge and tall stairs from the bathroom to our room and no way could it get in. He turned off the lights....yep...you know where this is going right? Sure enough a few minutes later I hear this scratching noise and a thump. I freak out and wake my husband to turn the light on and he was pretty ticked at me since I was being so "ridiculous"....he turned on the light and this alien crab was in the middle of our room. It had scaled the steps. I was moving bureaus, beds anything possible to block the stairs lol...

so ...yea...no crabs for me ..I know what they can become ha ha ha.. evolution is a scary thing.

I do not mean to laugh at your pain but OMG that is too funny! I can see you jumping on the bed screaming, tossing things at it and him running around try to catch it LOL LOL LOL

I still wake up at night in sweat lol...I will never ever ever forget the scratching and thump in the darkness....

OK, Jenn. Head over to Youtube and search on "Extremetoothdecay." He's one of our members here. He's put up lots of video of his mantis taking out crabs. Maybe that will help you get closure on this obviously traumatic life experience!

That is too funny. Like a bad horror movie: Attack of the Giant CRABS!

 

So sorry about your crab phobia, but I think this particular crab is a bad idea in a reef tank.
