Why gorilla crabs specifically?

Check KP and TBS. Not sure if they stash away the hitch hikers that make the boat ride into their shop but worth a try. I have a pair that came in on my KP rock and I just put them in my overflow box.

Another option which you probably already did but call the LFS near you. Maybe someone turned a couple in if they ordered live rock. Anyway KP and TBS is who I would contact. Worth a try.

Hope your day is going well.

I can't speak for the OP's use case but they make great refugium scavengers or dedicated species tank. Also can be a great source of food for predators...

Call Tampa Bay Saltwater....maybe they can help.

Yes food source is why Im asking! My mantis shrimp really likes them and I think my triggers and eels would like to crunch some here and there. And its the one crab specifically that I wouldnt feel sad putting inna tank for food!

Hey there,
Besides porcelain crabs, gorillas are a regular live rock hiker. We give free gorillas to folks who purchase mantis shrimp or customers who ask for them. DM or email us. [email protected]
