    I personally don't flush anything that is alive. Ive you want to get rid of it, see if someone will take them off your hands like another reefer or LFS. My vote is for the sump, but I'm not sure If they will get enough to eat down there.

    Well you're right about that lol. Hey, whatever works for you is what you should stick with. I'll still be laughing at this for a while. If it's a gorilla crab then try and find a willing friend with a mantis or something that will enjoy it.

    Those look like some mean crabs. If you put them in your fuge they may TP it, or kill other good inhabitants Take them to the LFS, flush them, etc.
