SPS eating crab??

[strat]

Hi guys found this crab "nipping" on my pink milli. It's not the blue eyed. Body is totally black with hairy-stripey legs.

Need an ID on this crab.

Sorry for the blur image.

Thanks!

Bro, if in doubt, remove it. That is what I also do to unknown crabs.

i have a few in my tank. I spot the fellow, digging my newly mixed epoxy for food....

If un-ID crab found in my tank, I'll remove it then throw into my FOWLR for my trigger's night snack.

Better catch it Bro! Else you'll see your colony STN-ing.

Not sure whether a trigger will hunt crabs down but mine sure doesn't

Quite difficult to fish a crab out especially they are so "well protected" by the corals.

yeap...i mistaken it once for an acro crab and left it there.....was wondering why there are patches of STN in the middle of some of the branches (normally STN is from based up)....until one day saw that bugger eating at the polys of the acro!!!!

took out the crab and everything seems to be growing back....

btw, i always leave those hariy crabs in my sump.....you guys think its ok???? i think my return pump will shred them to pieces if they tried to return to the main tank......

[Dorado]

I kill it and feed my Sohal tang.

Tineng, I think it still not save, what happen

if the crab release the egg and it will flow in

you main tank..........
