 |  What type of crab is this???
I'm in the midst of setting up my first reef tank and this guy seems to have come along in the live rock I purchased.

Thanks to all who reply.

I am not positive  but that looks an awful lot like the crabs I had in my live rock when I got it and they killed my 2 fire fish and ate the polyps off my coral. [smiley=furious3.gif] I was told that they are actually small soft shell crabs but I don't know if that is true [smiley=huh2.gif].... John | |

I just did a search on identifying crabs and got a heap of links on pubic lice :-) Sorry no help here :-)

Why is it called the red-eyed crab?
[smiley=jester.gif]
I can't wait to build up to a reef tank and find all sorts of surprises. This site has had some pretty evil stuff come out of the woodwork, too, hasn't it? Mantis shrimp, pistol shrimp, that weird 10-inch-long worm.....
