talkalot82 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So I got this rock with this anemone six months ago and it had the smallest crab ive ever seen on it. show up a day later. all I could see was it was tan and looked like and emerald crab. today it was out and bigger and it does have the body of the emerald crab, but the claws are pink with purple tips and the body is a very light tan. What kind of crab do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 No pic?.....it isn't an anemone crab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Does it look something like this with fans it sticks up to collect food from the water? If so then it is a Porcelain Crab A.K.A. Anemone crab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Are the claws pointed? Do the legs of the crab appear to have hairs on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 its not an anemone crab and yet it does have hairy legs that are pointy. I cant seem to get a pic of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm thinking teddybear crab, not coral safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfinsax Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I had a little crab that came with my Acro, was about a 1/8 long and one claw was bigger then the other and no hair. Stayed on just that coral and then was gone after about a week. Was kinda bumbed and hope he shows up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
