    Had the tank for 3 months and only just spotted this guy tonight! See pic.

    Please advise if anyone knows what type it is. I think it maybe a Menippe Mercenaria but not sure

    Thanks

    Looks like a gorilla crab to me... If I were you I'd take a coke bottle cut the top off, flip it around and put it back together then glue it. Put some rocks in it and a piece of shrimp to lure him in!
