Who wants a Sally Lightfoot Crab???

[digitalis]

This is Eric's wife... And he brought home a Sally Lightfoot crab like we agreed he could get to help get rid of our algae issue.
The thing is UGLY and SCARY! I am totally OK with somebody coming to get it when he isn't here and I'll just tell him it must have died!! LOL, OK, not really, I'm joking but the picture I saw when we talked about it was so harmless looking. This dude looks like a BIG A** SPIDER!!

What I thought it would look like:


This is what it looks like instead!! EW!!!



OK, now it's in the tank, not so scary looking!!

I've always thought those things were creepy.

I saw one 5" across (maybe 7" stretched out) carry off a healthy 3" watchman goby! in a reef tank. The goby was kicking and screaming but I couldn't get to them in time to separate the two of them. I don't like sally lightfoots any more
