Crabs are the epitome of evil (evil in the shell perhaps). I recommend hiring a witchdoctor to exorcise this accursed beast from your tank before it claims your firstborn.

Out, villain!

I'd let him be untill you get a possitive id on him,if not,I have a tank where he can do no harm.

hey Quinn I dont think a witchdoctor is nessary but if I have problems I will keep it I mind :lol: Thanks Jim I pulled it out of my tank for the time being and have him in my other tank ... where he can do no harm I definatlywant to keep it, its pretty cool.

if you can, post a pic of it so we can see what it looks like. it sounds like a kewl lookin hitch-hiker.

Pic! Pic! Pic! :mrgreen:
