Gorilla crab?
 

I believe i have a small gorilla crab in my tank-

i have been aware of its presence for some time now because i saw its molts hanging around-

how ever its gettting bigger and im worried it will eat my fish one day

id say its body is about the size of a quarter


i finally saw the actual crab a day or two ago and just saw it again today
i guess currently its a good tank mate since its cleaning up all the extra mysis my fish fdont eat...

but i rather it not get the palate for purple firefish or blenny



how do i get rid of it

lure it out with a piece of krill or fish on a stick and net it. it should latch on pretty good once it grabs the food. i know all of mine try to break the skewer i use to feed them.

there are other methods you could try but this would seem to be the easiest method to try.

oh yea and if you dont want it i will gladely take it off your hands. i have a tank set up for nothing but hitch hickers.
