CRAB?

[fish-brother]

Hello, i found this crab in my tank, which has been up and running for 7 months, i snapped a pic and was wondering if it was a bad crab or a good crab. Thanks for your help

Yes, that crab is of the species Eatus Anythingus.... :-D

Seriously....it's very difficult to make a positive ID on crabs found in the tank, as many different species are nearly physically identical. One thing however that nearly all crabs have in common is the fact that they are omnivores, oppritunistic feeders, making the vast majority of them unsuitable for the reef tank. When in doubt....take him out.... :-D
