Gorilla Crab

[RichWise73]

I was able to catch a gorilla crab that came along as a hitchhiker on the some live rock I added to the tank. If anyone would like it for their sump or any other reason, let me know.

It’s free.

I’m located in southern York County, PA and could meet in the York, PA or Baltimore, MD areas.

Decided to keep him and set up a pico for him.

Be careful, they’re highly toxic! (tetrodotoxin)

Thanks. I believe that was only an issue if they were eaten. Once it’s in a tank by itself and some live rock, I won’t be messing with it.

I've read that one way to catch them is to stab them. But, if they are toxic, is that putting your tank at risk?

I caught him using a bottle trap. He is currently residing in a tank in our office.
