Red Crab

[the_reef_journey]

Hi do you guys recognise this fella and is it reef safe ?

Any idea what crab this is?

Hi sorry for bad photo but saw this guy after lights out. Is pinkish with black claw tips. I have a mixed reef tank not sure how he got in but he did. Is he good or bad? I have a feeling bad and that's why some zoa's are missing their crowns : ( Thanks!

The white tips on its legs and claw tips turning black - I would guess a juvenile red reef crab atergatis subdentatus. I'm not a crab expert, so could be wrong

I’d guess a Liomera sp.; not sure on the reef-safeness though - sorry.

Sump crab, black tipped claws are always bad.
