eh..nice and cute.. but no idea wad this is.. maybe can keep it~

maybe its just pale from the shock it received. "What is this new place??!"..

don't know....moving some LR's around last night and came across this fella trying to swim away in the currents.... Didn't pinch my fingers when I tried to lift it up but didn't see it this morning though... None of my corals seem to be damaged so I guess it's safe...

Hi there, that looks like a porcelain crab to me, with the large claws and white carapace. Does it have hairy appendages in front of the mouth? If yes, should be correct. These are filter feeders and can be found amongst the tentacles of deadly anemones.

thanks ....but I didn't see any hairy appendages at the mouth section maybe it was too small and I couldn't see it real close. Have no idead where it imerged from because I don't have anemones in my tank....
