I got a blue legged crab that has grown about 4x as large as any of the blue or red legs I have. He's tipping corals and is just a general terror in my IM15. What do you guys do in a situation like this?
 
You can put him in a different tank, you can give him away, or sell it, or return it to the LFS for credit....
 
Cool thanks. Maybe my shop will change him for a smaller one or another snail.

Cool! That sounds like a cool crab to be honest!
 
Boil it up and add some butter. . .

Nah just take it to the LFS, could probably asks to just swap for a smaller one.
 
It would be if he wasn't uprooting everything that isnt strapped down. He's a fascinating brute to watch.
I would totally take him if I was close to you! And yeah I get that, my turbo Bulldozer does that all the time even when I glue them down cause shes a huge snail! Gary is a little smaller and sticks to the glass so he is good but she just loves the rocks lol
 
My coral guy just started a new frag tank so I gave it to him. And added a tiny emerald crab and a diamond goby.
