Well, the reef kind of course :wink: I have always enjoyed watching them and their personalities. I was taking photos of coral today and noticed this one climbing up the side of the tank and thought I would take a picture. I have had this guy for a long time and he's as mean as can be. Every chance he gets he will clamp on to tongs and hold on, I can pull him all the way out of the water. If you get your hands near by he will certainly try to get a hold of you.
Share some pictures of your crabs, of course reef crabs!

I don't trust crabs esp ones that look like that they usually don't get the royal treatment in my tank. I do like your meteor shower cyphastrea covered egg crate! Thats pretty cool looks like it just grew off the frag plug and then when you moved the plug it just kept growing.

Yea, it's probably not a reef safe crab but I've had it around a long time and never seen it bother anything so I just let it stay. The cyphastrea is about 12 inches in diameter on the crate and a colony in the middle. I also liked how it cover the crate so I left it. At some point ill probably cut up the cate and have a ton of aquacultured frags.

Bunch of blue and red legged hermits hermits and a couple emerald crabs here.

They're all in their own tank now, got tired of replacing corals that they knocked off.
