well i know this is REEF central, and red mithrax crabs arent too desirable in a reef tank, but i was hoping that maybe someone has other tanks suitable for these guys...

I love them to death they are so fun to watch, but sometimes they are nothing but trouble! hehe. I have them in my 75g only thikg i got in there is live rock (they came on the live rock). No fish. They started out small, but they've all molted a few times since august.

ii dont wanna just give them to the pet store cuz they could care less lol. I think its time for me to get rid of them because i want to see if my tank is ready for fish (long story) and i tried once, and the crabs bullied the poor guy around.

One is really big, two are medium and one it small..


i doubt anyones interested but i thought it was worth a try

piX! lol ima nerd

I wouldn't trust 'em with a goby or any small fish... One of those guys tore apart my 2 blood shrimp that were twice the size of the mithrax, and also an orchid dottyback which was quick and agressive itself.
