[samksy]

This came with one of my acro.....anyone know his identity and if he is reef safe?

Looks like a type of jr decorator crab.
Not 100% reef safe.

Of course I could be wrong.

It looks like a decorator crab. They can eat fishes.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Not the ones they usually come with but it looks like either a Decorator or one of those gorilla crabs they talk about which are bad.

 

[meschaefer]

[samksy]

this guys hangs on my sps. So if i ever need to pick him up is easy. But they look like the crab shells that you see on the beach.

 

[reefnewbe]

he had to take him out because he was AMBUSHING his snails.:dead1:

 

[Awibrandy]

[MO~IDOL]

[samksy]

[OctaviousMonk]

looks like an undecorated decorator crab, which are in the arrow crab family that is why it has the point coming over its head. They can rip out polyps to decorate themselves with. Mine never did anything bad and was an amazing creature to watch. Before he died he was the size of a tarantula!!

 

[crox99]

Put him in your sump!!!:smokin:

 

[1UCKY]

Give him to me! My black puffer would take care of him:biggrin:....
