Have been trying to catch the crabs in my reef for a long time already. And to my horror last nite, this particular crab was fanning out stuff from its belly. Very tiny little looking tapoles swimming all over my tank. Damn! I hope they dont survive and mature into more crabs!

Survive and grow up? Don't think so if you've got a protein skimmer running, but it sure makes great food. When anyone at home decides to go to the market to get crabs I always insist they buy those gravid ones, so I can peel the eggs off and feed to my tank on a fortnightly basis. The gorgonians open up very nicely, and even some of the LPS manage to catch the floating eggs with their mucus layer. Fish love it too, esp. my clown.

At most, if they do survive, give us a seafood treat someday! :P

I have several 1 to 1.5in crabs in my current tank. Am still catching them slowly but steadily. Removing about 1 crab a week on average, and to think the tank is already 6mths old!!!

Here is my personal experience. I keep several 2 in regal tands, some yellow clown goby. On some occassion when I went too near the tank, my regal tangs will get all shy and hide in the rocks. Twice, I saw a tang huddle down in a hold when I get too close, only to have a crab move over and blocking the exit path of the hole. The crab then proceeded with a happy tangy meal. I am very certain the tang are in good shape, and are alert when caught. There are also occasions when the crabs tried the same technique but the tangs got away, but those dumb fishes never learn :(

Just to share my experiences.

Argh... i hate those crabs. Only managed to declaw a few of them. I have abt 4 of them running around with only 1 claw. But problem is that they learn to avoid "THE HAND" once an unsuccessful removal is attempted.

TTBoy, why catch them? next time just get a pincer or something, just poke straight thru them.... :evil::evil::evil:

      BETTER WAY TO RECOVERY FUNDS BACK BY TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY

      The crypto recovery landscape is difficult, and my journey through it was harrowing. As a NASA employee, I pride myself on analytical skills and problem-solving. However, my foray into cryptocurrency led to significant challenges that left me feeling lost. Initially, I invested over $50,000 in various digital assets, convinced of blockchain technology's potential. But as the market fluctuated, I faced devastating losses. To make matters worse, I borrowed an additional $20,000, hoping to recover my losses quickly. Instead, I sank deeper into debt, feeling trapped and desperate. During this dark period, I felt isolated. Many around me didn’t grasp the complexities of cryptocurrency, and I hesitated to share my struggles. Yet, I knew I needed to take action. In my search for solutions, I discovered Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a firm specializing in crypto recovery. From my first interaction, I felt reassured. Their team approached my situation with empathy and expertise, providing insights into recovery. They outlined strategies to reclaim my funds, instilling a sense of hope. Their professionalism contrasted with the chaotic emotions I had been grappling with. With their support, I began to regain control over my finances. They educated me on due diligence, transparency, and the importance of working with trusted sources. This experience reinforced qualities I had honed at NASA: resilience and adaptability. WHATSAPP .+.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.97. OR TELEGRAM (AT) TECHCYBERFORC Now, I encourage others facing similar challenges to seek help from trusted professionals. The crypto landscape is fraught with potential pitfalls, but resources are available. Reaching out can make a significant difference. My story is a testament that not every glimmer of hope is a mirage.
