Help ID crab

[andrewttw]

Help ID please. Found this crab lurking in my tank tonight. I thought I killed him when I took out the live rock to boil previously. Evidently something went wrong there.

Will it eat fish?? I just noticed a missing green clown goby today as well.

I'd remove all crabs just to be on the safe side.

I got plentt in my tank too...check the pincers if they r flat at the tip, means they eat algae so its a good addition. If their sharp chances are they dun eat algae but something else....

I'm not crab expert, I'd remove and hang them in isolation box to have extra view. Hee

Could be the molted exoskeleton leftover and not the carcass.

Why not to be safe tentitively get it out of your tabk and put it in your sump? Can always use the water bottle trick with some dead market prawns. Did this when i initially got my liverock. Managed to catch 3 red hairy ones and a black hairy one

That means it's growing !

The shell seemed pretty whole to me. Like it's the whole crab. Hmm.... I'll keep a look out.
