Crabs

[Aneal]

I just got in live rock from Florida and I'm curious what these 2 crabs are. I know the one with black claws is bad but what about the red one?

Red Mithrax crab.

Sweet! Thank you!

I have two I’ve been trying to catch, also from Florida rock. How did you catch them?

YW.

They fell out of the rock as I was unboxing it. Nothing special

Lucky...I didn’t even know I had them until 3 months later and I found a molt first. Glad you got them out!

If you figure out a way to trap a crab let me know please!

Fish trap and stabbing in the rock didn’t work. Going to try a glass with bait and tip it towards his rock next. If that doesn’t work then I guess he wins until he’s too big to hide in the rock.

I know there are 3 other tiny crabs. All 3 could have fit on my thumbnail. But I couldn't grab them. They're in a quarantine tank tho, so I'm not worried about them eating too much.

Good luck
