I'm not sure what kind of crab this is, but it is up for grabs! If someone wants to buy it $5. My small fish such as firefish, chromis were disapearing and I finally found the culprit! Took me almost an hour to get him out of the tank, and into his little prison. Like I mentioned I'm not sure what kind it is, I accidentally ripped off one claw trying to get it. Here are some pictures, sorry not to good! Got him in the two way breeder at the bottom of my aquarium.

Question...will Teddy Bear Crabs (the only thing I've heard them being called) kill fish too? I had one come in on a Goniopora...it's 3 times the size the last time I saw it...and it was holding pieces of the Goniopora in it's front claws...and yes...I've noticed a lot of empty holes on the coral. I doubt I'd ever catch him in my tank though.

Any crab that is hairy are predatory in nature and will kill fish if they can catch them.
