While shutting down a tank today, this guy fell out of the LR. Very cool.

I have no idea what it is... It was a hitchhiker, so all I can tell you for sure is that it should be from Indonesia, as the LR was from Jakarta.

Are you planning on keeping it? If so, that would be cool if it's harmless.

Bev: It wasn't my tank, it was Larry's, and the tank and contents were dispersed on Sunday afternoon.

Kaboom: It lives on in my sump. I've got 3 or 4 crabs in there now. I might have to start feeding my sump seperately if I keep collecting them. This guy is my favourite, though. The blue-and-black claws are very striking. The picture is abut 150% actual size, I'd guess.
