We have had this mystery crab in our tank for a while now and even with traps have not been able to get him out! Sneaky guy! He has molted so hopefully this will help. He is a little fuzzy but Im pretty sure its not a gorilla crab? One claw is very large compared to the other, he has red eyes...
Ahoy,
I would like to know the ID for this crab.
Classic question -> good or bad?
If other pictures are needed to ID it, let me know which parts of the crab are importatnt.
It is sitting in the sump right now just to be sure.
Thanks in advance!
PS: I named it Karatecrab LOL
Looking for an ID on a hitchhiker crab from my TBS liverock from Florida
Maroon Crab with white bands on legs, sharp looking claws, no hair on his body/legs at all. looks like black tips to the claws, but looks totally different from the stereotypical gorilla crabs I've found so far. Sorry...
@Lionfish Lair Found this little guy today. Can he be ID'd or is he just too small? Most of all, Safe? Can I keep him? Seahorse Tank safe?Bottom view Top ViewAnd one for good measure ;)
So I ordered a maricultured metallic green torch coral from LiveAquaria and it came with its very own sizable crab.
It has hairy legs and green body and claws. I'm thinking it's an emerald mithrax crab, but I want to be sure before I set it loose in the tank.
Can anyone confirm it's an emerald...
