Got Crab?

[Savannah]

Hello again! So yesterday was another one of those days of staring (for hours) at my lovely aquarium. And then I spotted this guy!

I have searched the web and I havent seen a crab that looks like this one, on the websites that I use to i.d. The eyes are very unique. He is super tiny right now, I dont know if I will see him again for a while. I hope I get lucky again like the ball tipped anemone :D

Were his claws pointy? If so its a predatory crab and should be removed. If they were more cup shaped then they are usually pretty good. But remember all crabs are opportunistic hunters and will go after your other critters if they get big enough and are presented with a good opportunity.

If I catch him Dana he is all yours! Is the picture not clear enough to i.d. the crab? I am sure kicking myself now for not catching him while I had the chance and throwing him into the refug. Oh well live and learn I guess.
