Not the lucky one

Well, a few weeks ago, I discovered the killer (OK, alleged killer) crab I removed from my tank had a twin brother. Well, this one was a bit more evasive, but that turned out to be his downfall in the end. If he had only come quietly, no one would have gotten hurt. . .

Yeah, fortunately, the crab didn't seem to realize the skewer was a threat. One jab, one kill. The thought of a late night snack did occur to me, but I just couldn't find my miniature shell crackers. Of course, there is still his brother hiding out in the frag tank. I still don't know what possessed me to put him in there versus the sump. I think I was under the delusion that this crab that had hidden in my tank for who knows how long (at least months) and then evaded my capture for many weeks would for some strange reason decide to hang out in the open once I placed him in the other tank. He really is kinda cool looking.
