i highly doubt it took down your fish. crabs are largely scavengers unless they are much bigger than the fish prey. chances are your fish was probably half dead before the crab got to it. i think a lot of people are just too paranoid when it comes to hitchers.

Crabs as most things of that nature are oportunistic...if the chance is there say goodbye. Same with anenomes, certain corals etc. Easy meal is an easy meal.

The CBB was still alive when i took it out of large blue knuckle hermit claws.
CBB was tiny. hermit got it at night. the fish was in very good health and purchased only 3 days before from J&L.
