Here's a pic of the red decorator crab I just got. I've been trying to find a decorator for over a year, and when I finally find one he's an awesome color!

Awesome! Good looking crab

Had no idea my emerald crab was such a determined hunter. No clue how he got his way up the glass to grab onto the snail but they are currently locked in a battle for endurance. Who is going to let go first?

This guy is a repeat offender now. Didn't get a picture cause I ran to chase him off, but as soon as lights went out I saw him heading toward my only coral a toadstool leather and I walked away for 5 min, but by the time I came back he was siting directly on the toadstool leather (which had retracted all its polyps from his intrusion) like he just pulled up to the bar and sat down on a bar stool for a drink! Not sure if he tried to eat the polyps or not, but I've got my eye on this criminal now!

Edit: got a photo of him red handed. Going into the sump tomorrow.

That is a strange looking crab. Love it! There’s been a couple on DD the past week or so. Going to have to add one some day.

I had a crab for the longest time. I never bought him, he just showed up one day must have been in my tank for over 2 years when I put my live rock in. He has since passed away.
