Anemone crab murdered, looking for suspects

I just want to draw with chalk.

Bring us the lineup! Lol we can pick a bad crab from a good citizen crab! It’s all in the pinchers!

Sorry guys, i threw out what was left already. Looked like he went through a blender though

I've had the live rock for a month or so. Changed my whole scape for live rock from the lfs.

Congrats on your new pet.

If it's a peacock it can stay! I actually love mantis. Hoping it's that over a pistol. Wonder if I'll ever find out

My vote would be a pistol shrimp over a mantis shrimp especially if the poping is being repeated frequently. I often have shrimp molt immediately after introduction and sometimes in bags so I wouldn't rule out it was a molt you saw. Unfortunately when shrimp molt they are very vulnerable and animals that wouldn't normally bother them may take the opportunity to go after it.

He also said the shell looked like it went through a blender. No way a pistol shrimp is doing that.

I thought something happened to my porcelain crab after it looked like he had exploded on the bottom of my tank and I couldn't find him. One week later he was back surfing Nem tentacles, and scooping up food. I hope this is the case.

From a molt? I doubt that. Looked like there was meat in there. Wish I had taken a pic

Yeah it molted. I didn't see any meat though. It's crazy how they molt, they fill up with water until their shell explodes.
