if you didnt add it......chances are you dont want it.......take the opportunity to relocate it to the sump or ..........dispose of it elsewhere:twised:......looks rather "box crabish"

mithrax crab? my emerald has gone greyish rather than green(maybe molting?) and it looks quite simular other than the colors.

if you dont want it i am sure someone with a mantis shrimp would love it.

Red eyes are a good sign the crab isn't reef-safe. Sump or squish (more humane than a live flush down the toilet).
