[meschaefer]

Mine lived for three years in my sump. I called him the "Sump Monster" (how inventive)

 

[drunktank]

looks like a good snack for my triggers

 

[Reefer420]

[jenniebutterfly]

i don't have my pest tank anymore. wish i did, he would be cool in there. hmm, wish i had my new tank up, he would go in the sump

Damn, thats one big mother of a gorilla crab!!!! There was one thread on RC that made it to thread of the month. Its a small tank with a mantis and a gorilla crab was added and they battle it out regularly. Good thread. Ill try to find it..........

 

[Savager]

If you still have your crab, can you have it? I think I can put it in my refugium.

 

[barebucta]

Was he a hitchhiker?

HAHA, here comes Wingo. I do have one-my rock tank in the basement is full of fifthy scary looking creatures, decorated crabs, arrow crabs, 7" puffer, and my killer crab which supposingly an algae eating one, oysters from a sushi shop, other shelled animals washed ashore at the beach and so forth.

But too bad, too far away. I'll pass

 

[Art Vandelay]

He came as a Hitchhiker. I got rid of him already today. I caught him with a fork. I just happened to see his claw sticking out during feeding time. I pinned that claw to the bottom with the fork and moved the LR out of the way. I then scooped him out. No injury to the crab.
