Usually when I find a crab like that, he may start off in the main tank but he ENDS up living in the sump, not the other way around. :lol:

Most. Awesome. Smilie. Ever.

Anywho...
That looks like the crabs I pulled out of my rocks... miserable little bastards were eating my hammer corals. Lived quite happily in my sump for a long time, though. Hardy.

The only saltwater crabs I like are the pom pom ones. Mostly because they already have anemones in their claws and can't do any damage. I also like to think of them as coral cheerleaders. Grow SPS grow! Grow SPS grow! :cheer2:

Oh and I do have an affinity for Dungeness with garlic butter. Mmmm....
