    I found a crab similar to that one in my tank not too long ago. Some shape only darker and the general census was to get rid of him.

    That is almost certainly a gorilla crab, long hairs all over, and black tips of the pinchers.

    Got this picture from : Yengecler

    Haha can I really do that. No one will take mine and I feel bad just killing it and throwing it away.
