    Picked up some stylophora earlier, and it came with the prettiest little crab I've ever seen. It's got a pure white shell on top, and the rest of it is a beautiful corraline purple. Anyone have any ideas? I will have some pics up later tonight if they came out good, my cable for my camera s at work :angry:

    It's hard to say without a pic, could be a porcelain crab but could also be many other things.

    Are the claws pointed or rounded?

    I'd be careful about declaring it cool before knowing what it is. :p
    A friend was eager to show me his fantastic hitchhiker. He wasn't so impressed a week later as it started munching his corals. :)
    but just my2c.
