I found a very small, flat crab among the hitch hikers in my recent package of TBS live rock. It’s pretty pale in color and has a half moon shaped carapace. It seems to have large back legs and smaller legs as it gets towards its claws. It doesn’t look like anything on the TBS hitch hiker guide and I was hoping folks could help identify it or give any clue as to whether it would be safe in a nano reef display (knowing full well better safe than sorry). Currently, it’s residing in the little sample cup but if not reef safe, I’ll dump it back into my TBS hitch hiker/silt bucket.
I have some pics but they aren’t great as the crab is tiny (smaller than my pinky nail).
