OK, so that's adorable
 
There are 3 hitchhiker crabs that I'm aware of in my tank. The progress in size from the tiny red one that lives under my favia

Neat! The first one almost looks like an acro crab
 
I love this thread! I am so glad you are giving all these guys a chance! Number 10 is the coolest crab I've seen! and I had a number 11 living in my fuge for 3 years. Never knew his exact type though. He liked to bury himself in the sand during the day and then around 5:30 ish he would come out and scuttle around. Keep the pics coming!

#13
This one is what I imagine an emerald crab to look like, except green.
If it is similar I would love to have it somewhere it won't get eaten :P

#20 which caused #19 too much stress and caused it's subsequent death :/ (they had a squabble and #19 lost a claw then I realised my salinity was super high)

This one is a baby blue crab [emoji886]. These are good steamed! [emoji1303]
That baby blue crab is probably getting close to 8" across now [emoji28]
