711 crab?

now that's not one name you hear everyday.... soon as I heard that name I was thinkin you put the crab in and it got to servin slurpies LOL

They should have named it 187 crab, sorry it killed your snail, Darren.

Hey Viv that is one smooth looking crab, you could add a another crab buddy for him like an arrow or something.... they would make a cute couple

K not so funny anymore, I just googled it and read that this crab is pretty destructive and should not be kept in the reef, cornering fishes inverts and can quickly terrorize a tank. They also grow up to be quite large 10-11" maybe other crabs might not be safe in confined spaces.

That's a beauty of a crab! I'd love to have one roaming my fuge but not sure what wouldn't get decimated by something that size.
