Pinkish Red Crab

[ChelseaJoe]

I got a cute little pinkish red crab as a hitchhiker in a shipment of live rock. If anyone wants to have him and will give him a home in their tank he's yours. Of course I'll trade you for a nice little coral frag or something if you offer but if you don't have anything to trade he's yours for free.

I think it might be a strawberry crab. I will take a pic tonight and post it.

Is the crab reef-safe?

 

[ChelseaJoe]

I will take a pic tonight and post it. I'd like to give it away this weekend if poss. I have him seperated in a dish floating in my tank with water flowing through. I have a 24 gal tank so I want to give him away because I know he'll move small rocks/frags around.

 

[ChelseaJoe]

He should be. Strawberry crabs are supposedly. But crabs in general can be pesky (cute yes, but they can move stuff around that I don't want moved.) If your tank has big rocks and secure corals it shouldn't be a problem. Also OK in a fuge.

Thank you for finding a good home for your critter instead of killing it. That is what I call responsible reef keeping.

Joe, I can take him and let him live in my 20g fuge, it's a good size and he will have plenty to eat in there.
I'll be home this weekend lmk.
