Found a carapace last week. Found my new buddy couple days ago. Really cool. Bummed I'm gonna have to use the mini speargun on him.

would it be safe in sump?

[crabbysd]

Yes. Trying to decide if and how to do a trap for it. it tiny.
from what Ive read, look at the shape of the claws. its a scraper claw not a fighting mating claw or a hunting claw. like an acro crab. they sit on the coral and eat detritus and worms etc, in a tank they can get hungy and will go after sleeping fish. big fish no ptob. but I have a small one and want some pipefish soon.
So i fed the crab as a peace offering. Gonna see how it goes. Gotta tiny crab trap design?
