So i found out this morning using a flashlight this crab that was on my acro....i saw it eating the tips......and i believe this is the cause of why only 1 or2 of my acros were starting to RTN or have symptoms of an alk burn.........So i had to make a decision........leave him and try to close any gaps in the rocks so that he couldnt come out........or remove all my rocks and reaquascape while removing the crab........and so i did that...........the guy is 5-6" inches in length and about 3-4" wide..........he was a huge sucker

Wow, what are you going to do with it now?
Since its been snacking on your corals maybe you should boil it, cook it and feed it back to the coral!!!

 

[ashton]

omg! good thing you found it now before it could have gone to town on any other corals.

JEBUS!!, lol @ crabzilla, I have an emerald crab I have been calling "Kong" for about a year, his claws are huge, but nowhere near as big as zilla!!!!
He stands on the reef and waves his monster claws at the fish when they get close, never runs away though.
