    that my friend looks like a gorilla crab, I would get him out, if you have fish in there like blennys or mandarins they snatch them, they are mean little buggars, if you have a sump banish him to it.

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Most have the opinion that all crabs are bad since they are opportunistic and can become a eventual problem.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#KG#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    yeah they are opportunistic, if they can catch it they will kill it and eat it. I would think about getting rid of him yo never know he may get lucky and snatch one of your fish
