So I was perusing my tank with a flashlight patrol tonight and surprise surprise I found this lil guy no clue where the hell it came from but appears to be a porcelain crab species I have no idea how long its been in the tank or where I might of got it from.

Just goes to show how much your tank can surprise you

Nope I'd say thats a bad crab. Looks like a rock crab I pulled out of one of my old tanks. Whey they get bigger they can eat fish at night.

Considering its been in my tank for at least 5 months now if not longer that was the last time any rocks or coral were added to my tank I haven't noticed any loss or bites on any of my fish, other inverts and shrimp I am willing to leave it in there and this is the first time I've seen it to so as I said no telling how long it's been in the tank
