Howdy!
I was doing my water change and weekly maintenance this morning and saw a crab in my tank. I don’t have any though.
Kind of a cool surprise, but I am now wondering if he’s safe for my coral and fish. I did buy live rock several months ago. I guess it’s possible he’s remained hidden all this time. Attempted to get a pic but by the time I installed an orange lens he was gone. About 2 inches max. Hairy looking but not orange like “Florida hairy crabs” I’ve seen. He appeared very dull colored under the early light. Brown or khaki.
Including bigger photo for reference. Looks like he might have eaten a head off that torch. Hard to say. Hopefully he will help with that GHA instead if eating coral. My tan is too small for a tang.
Thank you!
