So I was doing a flashlight tour and found this guy in one of my acro colonies. Is it safe to have?

Yeah, that's about the most desirable acro crabs I ahve found to date. I call them bandit crabs... seems to be the common name on the forums. Eat slime and protect Acros in the wild. Should be self sustaining in your tank.

Yeah, take him out, and drop him off with me. I'll make sure he meets a bitter end! You can pick the method of destruction.

I've off'ed nasty crabs via
-my relentless attack cat, Jack
-by a Peacock Mantis shrimp called the cockster (half cockroach half lobster),
-by a hammer and cutting board

Or I'll put him in an Acro colony and let him live the rest of his days in peace. I'm like an Acro Crab rescue society. With an attack cat.

Where was your cat when I was trying to get a nasty hairy teddybear crab out of my tank. I think he is still at Upscales if you're feeling destructive. A trained reef attack cat. sweet!
