Help identyfiyng mystery crab
Hi there.
I didn´t know where to post this so here goes. Last night i spotted a crab in my LR. I´ve never seen it before, it was about an inch in diameter, it looked nothing like a hermit, more like this..... http://www.whoi.edu/science/B/people...x/CrabShot.JPG But flatter, not as tall that is. Can you experts identify it?

The picture looks like an emerald but my rule of thumb is if I don't know what it is take it out especially a crab as they are in general quite predatory.

crabs are extremely hard to ID for certain. If in doubt, most people cast them to the sump or give/trade them away. You can go here to try to ID it for yourself.

I had one that hid under a platygyra coral that I had for months. Every night before I went to bed I checked to see if the crab was out from under the coral. One night out of the few months I had it he was out. I jumped on it and banished him to the sump. Just keep an eye out. One night he might be in the open for you. You can try searching online for crab/worm traps. The bottle one might work if you know where he likes to hang out.

He hides in a cave, i supose i could kill him with a sharp stick, he´s located that way. but that will be a last resort !
