    I have no clue but it was suggested on a previous thread that it may be (errr, may have been) some kind of Mithrax crab.

    Whatever it was, it surely was ugly as hell. I'm betting he "did-in" one of my fireshrimp because there's nothing else in the tank capable of doing away with a shrimp that's about 3 inches long.

    Anyway, I'm glad that's over with.
