Acro Eating Crab
Some of you already know that I have been playing cat and mouse trying to catch this crab that has been eating my Acro's (i saw it snap off polyps and eat them with my own eyes)... well I got it this morning and here are some pics of it... if you see a crab like this hanging out in one of your Acro's, get it out....

Sceithe i cant say you can be positive on that.. Those are all over the shores of long island... 1000s and 1000s everywhere id be very surprised if that was the crab in your reef tank.
