Evil Lurks


So I notice some of my new zoa frag polyps are disappearing. This evening I caught this guy out and about under the actinics. So is he evil? He is a little smaller than a quarter and has blue fangs. Ok, so they arent fangs but he seems overflowing with perfidy. ID anyone?

I'm no expert but it looks like trouble. I used to find these and would give them to my dog to play with.

i would say hes eating them (though i have been wrong before) crabs can & in my experiance are notorious for eating different types of corals, Though all crabs do not ! usually the pincher type crabs do.

I dropped it off at the LFS. They said it was a Caribbean stone crab. I still think its a Vampire crab. LOOK AT THOSE BLUE FANGS!!!!

Is that your dog typing that?

I have also (on occasion) caught stone crabs, and my LFS is happy to take them.
