big24kid Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I caught what i believe to be a harlequin crab (Lissocarcinus laevis) Is this a pest creature or are they ok?? He is currently contained in his own cup, but I dont want to release him if he is a pest. Any info would be great, like what they eat etc. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defigart Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I looked them up on Google. They appear to live in/near anemone's. I can't help you with the nuisance question however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
