My calico crab

[mrpontiac80]

So I have a nem tank and few select animals, including a white tail bristle tooth tang, a cow fish, 2 clowns, a fire fish and this reclusive guy, a calico crab.
The crab is normally mostly buried into the sand but this morning it is just chilling… thought I’d share a pic since I don’t often see it fully exposed.

That crab is awesome. Glad you got a picture.

Pull them out of my pinfish traps all the time. what's their diet ?

what's their diet ?

They're reportedly scavengers/opportunistic predators that primarily eat meat (worms, fish, bivalves, small inverts, etc.), so I imagine they'd do fine on a good quality frozen/pellet feed.
