Red Crab ID

diverjm · Apr 22, 2026

Hey guys,

Got this little crab in some Australian live rock. Any ideas? I know usually the black pointy claws mean sump or dump but wondered if anyone knew the exact type of crab it is. I’ve searched the internet to no avail.

No clue but if you live in Sweden send it to me

i love mystery crabs and my sump is a home for them

Honestly, it looks like a red mithrax crab if it had black tips

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
