SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 17, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 17, 2003 Those brown crabs aren't exactly known to be harmful but most of us get them out anyway.

SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 17, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 17, 2003 By the time the picture was taken, the mantis has already devoured one crab. The other crabs are pretty tough. The mantis is a clubber and I saw it club one of the crabs with red eyes on the pincer. Didn't do any damage. Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.
