Hi guys,
Came across this guy obviously coming in on live rock purchased at my local.
Just wondering what it is and if I should remove?
I'm located in Australia.
Cheers

I have these in my tank, their claws are similarily shaped to Emerald Crabs but I get them as hitchhikers from Indo live rock. I've never removed them and only ever seen them eat algae.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 25 64.1%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 4 10.3%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 5.1%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 6 15.4%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 2.6%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
