| Re: how do you capture a hitch hiker crab? the lfs said it was probably a rock crab. its small, brown/tan witha couple black spots on it. its about the size of a thumb nail, he's pretty small.

| Re: how do you capture a hitch hiker crab? He's blurry, but is he hairy? You can google rock crabs. Some crabs are OK to have in the tank. Here is a link via WWM they have a few links at the top for ID, you may find your crab there SWCrabs My husband tore up the tank yesterday after seeing the bugger walking around. It hid in the rock but was coaxed out with a little freshwater and a skewer. We took it to the LFS and the owner said that he had a place for it. |
