Try taking the picture in a clear glass bowl with a piece of paper underneath. That way people will be able to see the mystery critter better. Looks like a crab to me though :biggrin:

Oh, I guess this is the crab I asked to se a pic of in your other thread. Tough to tell in that shot, but keeping it in the sump should be fine.

If it looks like an Emerald crab, but with a brown body and red eyes, chuck it away!

i have one that looks like an emerald crab but has shiny black body and hairy legs. And its about 1.5-2 inches wide. I don't know what it eats but it stay on one rock the entire time which happens to be the biggest and heaviest rock in my tank.
I would like an ID as well if anybody knows

I think I have an exact same crab as you Chin. I have him in my sump/fuge now but used to see him all the time in the main tank scrapping coraline off of rocks to eat. Never seen him "test" anything else. He just got too big for my 40gal display, so I moved him to the sump. I just assumed he was an "African American Emerald Crab". :mrgreen:
