The crab is no more!! I was watching TV yesterday and noticed my bicolor blenny going into the back corner of the cube and picking at something. Upon closer inspection I noticed it was snacking on some crab sashimi.

WOO! The crab, ironically, died next to it's snail bounty. What goes around, comes around. :D

And finally, the crab that easily took out at least 15-20 snails, is being devoured by. SNAILS!! Bwahahahahaha!!!

I took out the remains, and it was indeed dead crab - not just a molt. Flesh in the front claws. WOOOO!!

Are ya nuts man?! This blasted thing wreaked havoc in my tank for months! I lost countless frags, more than a dozen snails, and one beautiful orange ric colony to this heathen monster.

Here's where he had hidden his stash.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this. The sneaky little SOB took cover when I ripped the tank apart two weeks ago, so I figured I was in for many more snail deaths and frag stealing. I must have injured him during the rescaping. Hehe...so sorry Mr. Crab. :D

The bad news is, the tank is still clicking. :( At this point, I'm thinking it must be a pistol. I would think that I would have lost fish by now if it were a mantis.
