Right now he about the size of a quarter, I'm not for
sure what kind he is for sure yet. But from the pinchers
I recon he is not a good one in the long run, but until
I see him doing something he should not I'll leave him
in the main tank.

I would recommend getting it out now, while you can find it. Why wait until it harms something.

My friend that had a mantis shrimp in his reef tank said the same thing...

After 90% loss he decided to get it out. But he did donate it to someone with a refugium to have to itself.

if you go by claws and approximate body shape, it is a stone crab. I know this because I ate his relative tonight :twisted: :twisted: :wink:

I lost over $100 in fish to a crab like that until I finally ripped apart the tank to get him last month. Get him out asap!

The only fish in that tank or 3 green chromises no big
loss if he has a snack ever once in a while. I have no
real desire for fish in my reef tank.
