I have seen many crabs in the glass box and on my diving adventures but this one is given me the eye ;Wideyed

@Crabs Mcjones Maybe Mr.Crabs knows :)

Looks like some percnon crab.
Maybe the percnon planissimum?

Is that in your tank?! He looks more smug than mean to me. Like he saying "I just ate your favorite goby, now whatcha going to do about it?"

With the size of those legs, I'd be hoping to call it lunch! ;Drool

Sally lightfoot crab (Percnon gibbesi) is what i'm coming up with

 

[redfishbluefish]

It has a Sally Lightfoot look to it.


Here's the one that creeps me out....Japanese Spider Crab:

Stop it you're making my mouth water and lunch isn't for another 2 hours! :p

I was gonna say Sally Lightfoot as well. As far as I know they’re reef safe but I’m not sure how big they get. A large crab of any species can become a formidable predator.

 

[ZoWhat]

IDK.... as what I hope to be the Apex Predator, I see dinner

 

[WhoWars]

I'm going to chime in and also second (or third?) that it's most likely a Sally Lightfoot.

 

[Diesel]

I’ll be darn.......
HuH a Sally.
Well, it’ll be taken care of.....

Hmm.. the article says nothing about its flavor profile. :(

Sounds like its time for an experiment ;)

Diesel likes fudge so I bet it taste like that. :)

No sweet tooth here.
I’m living 80% on bariatric shakes due to 3 months ago I almost met my creator :(
Had to cut out all my favorite candy and meat as well.
But I feel happy and stronger than ever.
