SRC Member cdckjn Posted September 23, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 best not keep as crabs when they grow bigger will knock down your rockscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I understand what you mean. Do you think this will attack my fishes or eat the corals (lps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Quas111 Posted September 24, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted September 24, 2013 Crabs are very hard to ID. I think to make the ID easier, it would be better if you added more pictures and description! Anyways heres a good link for finding about the hitch hiker crabs: http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchcrabs.html Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusafe Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 My rule is...get rid of all crabs. They are voracious omnivores that devour anything they can get their hands on. That's just me. Only exception are harmless commensals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
