I think my peacock mantis needs a new tank mate, and he fits in perfectly.
I don't think I will be eating this thing. anyone interested to take him for his mentis in the Edmonton area and let nature take its course lol.
Thats one big a$$ crab, you must have some huge hiding spots in your rock...
yea I do, I guess its been there for about 2 years without showing himself. that's why when I set my 230G I will be starting from dry rocks. No more buying live rocks.
What sort of damage was he causing? Just curious :-)

You can always just toss him in the sump and let him clean up detritus down there...

when I first saw him he was munching on my sps coral, which its fragged now lol and couple of days ago I lost my candy apple cane frag. so not a lot but I am glad I saw him before it was too late.

Use the rocks that you already have and then buy dry rock for the rest. This is a good way to seed the new rock, and be pest free. That's assuming of course that your existing rock is now pest free.

Definitely donate him to someone that has a crab muncher or a sump. I wouldn't let that thing anywhere near my system again! Good catch!!:biggrin:
