Default This crab has consumed numerous fish and coral...
In one night this bastard decimated my ricordias. He's killed a couple of chromis and my pajama cardinal. My female pajama cardinal isn't looking good. Boodied tail fin.







Finally caught him last night.

Give him to someone with triggers and puffers or just dump him in the sump?

I'd go with the triggers/puffers route. If he's done that much damage I wouldn't want him near the tank, even in the sump. They're crafty little buggers...

Feed him to a mantis, I've been trying to catch a crab that looks similiar to him although that one feeds on algae at the moment when he gets bigger he will go for more stuff.
