My newest tank inhabitant. Yeah, I know, he's got black pointy claws(well,okay, the pictures don't show those, but he does ) so he's probably a fish killer. But I don't plan on having fish in a 5 gallon tank, so that should be fine I got him today for a dime(lol. high roller) after seeing him on some rocks and figuring someone would eventually kill him. He's kind of a sandy colour with the black stripe on his back, black claws, black eyes and black(or maybe just dark grey?) bands on his legs. He's also got hairy legs. He likes to act like an emerald crab and sit around picking at the rocks eating what he can find off of them and hides behind them.

Any ideas?

Looks like a small gorrilla crab, thats cool if your not gonna put fish in with him, but be careful I had 2 that took me 2 months to get out, they tore my large colony of GSP apart making them a home.. its not always just the fish you have to worry about lol...but if i had only a rock tank i woulda kept mine too... they are cool to watch..

cool, it was nice of you to save a normally disliked predator.

And, sadly, I am thinking of setting up a tank for him. Since I have read in a few places that they'll eat corals(oops.) The 5 is for zoas and a couple more inverts. I've got a 2 gallon I am going to get a bit of rock for until I can either set up a larger tank for the zoas or set it up for him once he gets bigger. Assuming I can find him in my rocks again :P

I had one of those but was about 5 times as big and killed about $200 wirth of fish untill I found him and beat the livin out of him and then fed him to my hawk fish.
