Good or Bad crab

[BantyRooster97]

I have several crabs that came in as hitchhikers on my TBS rock. Caught this guy today, he's getting a little too big for my tank.

He's actually red & kind of pretty to look at.... but man he's getting big.

Thoughts?

mine are excellent algae eaters and fun to watch.

Crabs are opportunistic and kind of eat whatever is available.

Oh I agree, just the size of this one scared me.... my other ones are much smaller.
