Ok today I came home from school and thought that I would chill just gazing at my tank. The biggest ugliest crab that I have ever seen was out front crawling around. :o Tried to take a picture but batteries are dead. He looked like he has spikes all over his back. :w00t Almost like a horned toad from my much younger days. Is he good..... bad.... any thoughts on him. He is about 2 1/2 inches across. Does he need a trip around the proclean higway? :skeezy If this guy is munching on my corals and fish his time is running out :angry

Wow, that is a big hitchhiker :o A picture would be nice, but most unknown crabs that size I would yank and let him swim a few laps in the porcelain pool ;)

Or drop him in your fuge and watch him there for awhile?

Oooh, describe the claws! Are they serrated and bad to the bone or are they clamps with flat spots?

Well I waited and waited and finally caught the S.O.B. Now the question is what do I do with him. We are looking for batteries for the camera as I type. I don't want him to travel down the proclean hwy. I would rather him have a shot with some mean and nasty fish or shrimp.lmk if you are interested in him

Carl, that sounds good. How about I bring him to you this weekend. It doesn't seem fair to flush him. but a good battle sounds better.
