I got an acropora on Saturday and I saw this crab in it and was excited because I thought it was an acro crab. It never left the acro but the more I looked at it the more I got worried. I managed to get it out of the coral and into a container to take pics and now I am pretty sure it is a gorilla crab. Can you all confirm? His right claw is about 1/4 the size of his left claw but the tips are black.
If he is, I already have a gorilla crab in my sump that is five times bigger than this one. He's the cutest little crab so I don't want him to be eaten right away. Will that happen? I assume yes. I have a 20 gallon frag tank, could he go in there?
