Looks like some type of sand fiddler. I PERSONALLY do not keep crabs I did not purchase.
You can sump it , but thats up to you

Came in on kp live rock and finally was able to catch it. I did google it and couldn’t find it and read TBS critter ID and still couldn’t find it. I think I am going to put in the sump.

Can we get a picture of the past trap? Sounds interesting

It’s the ultra life x-terminator trap I got it from saltwateraquarium.com

At that time i had like 0 fish though so i kept them then bought a tank for them and have kept them since in a brackish tank I have set up for them.

I meant more for fish than corals, Ime they treat corals much nicer.
