Chaos the stone crab

Fatmike92 · Feb 25, 2013

This is who I have now named Chaos!

He is a stone crab that has be causing so much trouble for me it's ridiculous.

Ha he knocks over rocks. Move around corals in the sand. Breaks off corals that are glue to rocks.

Well I finally caught him! I had to take out the rock he hid in and broke it up.

He is pure chaos.

Ha chaos and I have been battling for quite some time but since I moved and have been focused on the house I never got to catching him.

He would come out and stare at me and then scurry away

One time he danced at me........ Lol

LOL> Darn crabs. I have been trying to catch one for quite some time, but I have been super busy so I havent really put any effort into lately. But, I really need to, pretty sure that thing ate one of my anthias!

Nice catch Mike, the bugger in my tank is getting bigger every week. but, still way too fast/observant to catch. time for crab trap 2.3

Ha I took a hammer out and smashed the rock.

It was like a piÃ±ata!
