^ This was my guess as well a type of Calappa, the claws just did not fit.

Wish I still had access to chuckaddiction links. He had a really nice crab ID section.

Going to have to pass on this one. Looks like he would eat too much of my macro fauna. Can't have THAT

When I get my tank I might compete with you for varius invertebrates ;P
Well mostly just stuff like chitons tho lol. I'm planning go get a harlequin tusk which would absolutely demolish most of the worms I could get lol.

No competition here. I just want to see these things have a happy home rather than die. And I am very interested in the lifespan and habits of eunice worms as well as mantids.
Good luck getting people to part with ones that are not bad such as chitons. My local fish store has a chiton that they have had for like 8 months. But they refused to sell it because they cannot get it off the glass without hurting it. Which I respect but I really want it. LOL

Yeah I really want chitons lol. Or rather basically anything that doesn't outright outsize a 1 ft fish or hunt through venom-poison. That way I can have a more balanced environment in my predator tank to be.
They were probably just making excuses lol. Chitons are awesome, and you could probably pull them off using a credit card like you can with abalone.

You know what invert I really want? The horse conch sold here: http://www.gulfspecimen.org/specimen/mollusca/snails-welks-conchs/
But I know it would totally kill any of the other invertebrate gastropods I want to get.

That's really cool. Yeah I tried to convince them to try to remove it. But they weren't having it. Lol I go once a week for ro. Stare at it for a min and hope it will come off the glass some day. Lol
I'm pretty happy with hobbit for now. Hes small but soooo interresting. :-D

Sry to jack the thread.

It's ok I think. We made it pretty clear that that crab will eat everything in his tank lol.

And here I am, plotting how I will be able to keep a horse conch without having to give up on the other conches I want...

That hobbit would be a snack for a wrasse pretty quick lol.
