Sorry it's the scientific name for the shell.

Just want to make sure it does t get close to the size that Japanese spider crabs get

 

[TnFishwater98]

I’ll put him in one of my bigger tanks but trying to figure out more info about this species

The first pic of him he is inside the shell he is standing on in the last pic , 5x as big in a month.

If this article is right and it's the right crab it doesn't.

That’s what I was thinking because he does stick some stuff to him. Might put him in my macro algae tank. Do you think my 6-line and spider crab would be good neighbors ….? Lol

Sorry but I don't have any clue. I had never heard of the crab before, until I just googled it.

That be great if you have a steam pot big enough

 

[TnFishwater98]

Definitely don’t need him to reach this size!

I’ve read they’re delicious though….

Sorry to distract! Corals!

I doubt he minds, since it still keeps his thread bumped.

Day before yesterday I posted pics of corals that I was throwing away from my tank, if my skimmer overflows one more time I'm going to start asking for people opinions on skimmer brands. It's all just bumps IMO.

I wish scientist back in the day named things how people name corals today. Instead of
10-15 letters scramble in crazy combos just call it something like - Dragon Tears, Pink *******, Blue eye Blondies, Gorilla Butts, and say Fairy Farts. I would of done a lot better when I study science in college.

I'm kinda the opposite. The trade names are absolutely ridiculous IMO, although I see why they're somewhat necessary to show lineage I guess.
