Help to confirm this crab


Recommended Posts

Hi, Just manage to catch this crab last night and its about 2.5" in size !

Need the kind help of bros to confirm if this is a hairy crap or good or bad "crap" before deciding what to do with it.

Cheers!

it is Spineback Hairy Crab or Gorilla Crab. Known to be non reef safe..

Gorilla Crab, Black Finger Crab, Xanthid Crab or Spineback Hairy Crab

Cheers..

ya i do have the same one in the pic think it bout 1.5inch now hiding in my rock can't really see it now.

but once awhile i see it shell means it changing it shell

kind of brown/red strip right? If so it the same.

i don't think it'll kill ur hermit crab more like ur pistol shrimp will be the culprit
