Live rock crab

[JCRove06]

I noticed this guy months ago. He has become much bigger since then and I think he’s responsible for eating some fish. I just bought a diamond goby who disappeared after two days.

What is it? Does it eat fish? If so how should o catch it.

Never dealt with one personally but I’ve read they eat everything they can get ahold of

They eat fish, crabs, snails, and your most expensive Coral. If you can take the whole rock out, hang it over a bucket or bowl of saltwater. A major pain to catch.

Same question from me!

Shoot if its big enough, its time to get serious:

Aw... don't kill him. Sump him.

Sorry Folks , It's the law of the fish ! I would crunch the devil up & feed to the very fish it is predating on .

Lol, he was about half the size of a dime at first and now he’s about a half dollar. dang, I figured the sob was bad news. I don’t have a sump. I just removed a mantis shrimp last month.

Yes, sir. Good in the ocean; bad in the DT for sure.

I got lucky and caught him. He was on one of the rocks and pulled it out as suggested. Just hit him with a mallet a few times and fed him to the fish.

Just kidding. Lol. Otw to lfs with him.

Glad you got it.
