hi,
is this crab reef safe?
thx!

Hard to tell out of water. Looks like a sally lightfoot crab, maybe...the legs are what make me lean towards SLFC.

If im correct its not reefsafe.

Don't know for sure, but with the exception of small commensal crabs (like Acropora crabs), I assume every crab is NOT reef safe.

i thought it was a juvie emerald crab that would eveutally molt to green. but why take a chance...

doesnt look like a emerald or a slf to me

edit look up red ridged clinging crab

what crab is this? spider or emerald? reef safe? thx!

 

[skene]

that is in no way an emerald... that would probably be some type of spider. the same goes for your hitchhiker. I would not trust either in your DT... however they may be a good scavenger in your sump eating detritus.
