OK, Everything I've read says most crabs are bad. OK. Even if they are 'good' put in the sump. OK. I can live with that. How's the best way to get him out of my coral? He lives in a piece of coral and I think he's killing it. Is this possible? If I 'hang' the coral upside down and try to squirt him out witha turkey baster will that work? Guess it wouldn't hurt. I'm afraid he'll go into hiding and I'll never get him then.
Suggestions?

Well if he is living in your coral he may be good. If he has a smooth shell and leggs he is prolly good. If hes is hairy hes no good. A pic would help. If he is bad try a chop stick to get him out, i doubt a turkey baster will get him out.

Thanks.
I tried to get a pic but no good. Too blurry. He appears smooth - no hair that I can see. Oh yeah....I f I remove him, will he die? Does he need to coral to survive??
