 ok to start i accidently caught and released some sort of rock crab when first setting up my suspended reef. then i heard it may be bad so i tore it all down looking for it and never did find it or set up the suspended reef again. well last night i saw him under a rock that was right on top of the pileClap. i was so happy to see him and finally get him out because i have been seeing empty shell numbers growing by the day. so i got the rock out and sumped him lol. both of his claws are big and brawny like popeye it is mostly creme colored with a sort of shade of pale green on its back and also on its back is dark brown almost black spots and the same color stripes on its legs. i have'nt been able to find any pics that resemble his body structure and color i did find a crab with sort of the same body style but colors were way off. please help i dont want him to get caught in my pump and i need that space back in my sump for my skimmer. i moved to after the baffles and tank is clouded with micro bubbles.
