I think Adam read more into my post then I intended .  IMO, crabs are desirable in a reef tank.  Especially hermits (leg color is aesthetic only).  I do think they are all aggressive towards anything that can't get away from them.  But their savaging abilities outweigh their aggressive behavior.  I've only killed one crab in my tank (I posted pics a few weeks back) and didn't mean to do it.  But I wasn't going to keep him in my tank where he was eating one of my acros!

I disagree with Jon a little.  I think just about all crabs are good to have, and I'd put him in my reef tank.

Personally I think all crabs are aggressive and at some point will eat something you don't want them to eat.  It's the hazards of keeping crabs in a fish & coral tank.

I think if you look close, they have a more rounded tip. While the aggressive ones have more of a point. But I could be wrong. Anyone know for sure?]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2004 09:10:33 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44840&title=fish-killer#44840 <![CDATA[fish killer? : Don&#039;t they all have pointy...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44837&title=fish-killer#44837 Author: Weimers

Don't they all have pointy claws?  Even my anemone crabs, acro crabs, & emerald crabs have pointy claws.]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2004 09:06:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44837&title=fish-killer#44837 <![CDATA[fish killer? : I have a 20 gal I could put him...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44821&title=fish-killer#44821 Author: rstruhs

I have a 20 gal I could put him in until you decide if it was him or not.  Can you catch him?  I could run up tomorrow or Sunday to pick him up if you'd like.]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2004 05:28:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44821&title=fish-killer#44821 <![CDATA[fish killer? : rstruhs- I&#039;m thinking I...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44666&title=fish-killer#44666 Author: vangvace

I've heard that also. I don't know about the red eyes, but pointed claws seem to make sense. ]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 07:12:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44639&title=fish-killer#44639 <![CDATA[fish killer? : Maybe Jake or Adam or Mark will...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4405&PID=44636&title=fish-killer#44636 Author: Adam Blundell

Rock crabs make great food for my aggressive tank.  Do you want to get rid of him?

Basically, if crabs have a pointed claw and/or red eyes, they are a predator.  At least that is what I heard from someone else.  Maybe Jake or Adam or Mark will straighten me out.
