ID my crab plx

Hey all. got a crab in my tank. Doesnt look hairy or like it has serrated claws.

 

Looks like a sally light foot. When it gets bigger it may go for your smaller fish. They are very fast and hard to catch (it took me 2 months to get one out of my tank)

Good luck

Looks like a mithrax crab to me....

Happy reefing!

 

Thanks Dap, I have the same crab in my tank. I wondered what it was.

 

Looks like either a mithrax or a mitten to me

 

it could very well be a sally light foot, but it doesn't have the vibrant colors and bands on the legs. Do you think the crab could be stressed? did you just put him in there when you took the picture?

 

could be stressed. hes been in there for a couple weeks now, was a hitchhiker.

 

Mythrax crabs are green... emerald green...

 

lol yeah not an emerald crab. doesnt have that hard looking body or hairiness either. and the claws are pretty slender. look more like cleaner shrimp claws then anything
