It came in on florida liverock and so far it has only burried itself in the sand.

I dont know the name of it but can say by looking at its claws it is predatory and probably not reef safe

Good sump pet

That is the cutest crab I have ever seen [emoji7]

He's probably a stone/Rock crab. At that size he's not a danger to anything. But he may get bigger. I'd put him in a sump if you have one or send him to a crab lover if you don't.

He's like grumpy cute! :D

He likely needs to come out before he gets big. If you can catch him....as small as he is I wouldnt tear the tank apart trying to get him either.

Yeah, he's a cool looking little guy. He's not a danger to anyone until he gets big.
