Hi guys,
First post here and very new to reef tanks and marine in general.
I've had my tank set up for about a month now, have about 100lb of live rock, 2 Turbo Snails, 12 Nas Snails, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 1 Peppermint Shrimp, 1 Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp and some Hermit Crabs in there. Last night I was having a look around the tank and I saw a crab on a piece of my rock. Before I could get a picture, it had scuttled off somewhere.
I decided to go check my tank late last night after the lights had been off for a few hours and sure enough, there it was. Tried to pluck it out with some long tweezers but it got away. I saw what rock it got on to, and decided to take it out of the tank. Luckily it was still on the rock so I got it out.
I've noticed over the past week or so that some of my hermits seem to have gone missing, so I'm wondering if this crab might be responsible?
I've tried IDing looking at several pictures but I can't find a crab that looks like it. Hopefully someone here can help!
Thanks for the help guys!
