No offense taken! I've followed your thread for a while and I wouldn't dare keep most of the inverts you have! I wouldn't buy anything without research anyways, and certainly not something that I'd likely end up killing. That is a great looking star though and good luck with it!

So while I was feeding today I noticed this rather large black claw reach out of a hole in a rock where my trimma goby lives and where my helfrichi firefish used to live. So since the rock was isolated and easy to take out, I took it out and poked around with tweezers until this little guy came out: (Note the evil red eyes!)
Now I know why I have been having trouble with some corals (just in general) and maybe even why some fish disappeared. He is being held in a cage in my lagoon until friday when he will go to the LFS to either be sold or fed to a large hungry puffer fish.

Mmmm don't know and don't really care. Black claws, red eyes, and hair all over is enough to tell me it's bad news.

It appears to be a Smooth Red Eye Crab. (Known affectionately on some forums as the "Red-eyed Crab from Heck"

Mmmm the claws aren't right. They look more like an emerald crab's claws (shape wise). I will look it up in my new 720 pg. Marine Fauna of the World Book tomorrow (it has over 8200 color pictures so I'm sure it will have the crab)

Bad crab bad bad bad-member of the gorilla family-non reef safe-I had a hitch hiker once from the same family-not bad when small but as it grew it became more and more aggressive.

Well he is isolated for now. To the store he goes! All I know is he isn't coming back home with me.
