Crab ID

DewDropPony · 06-30-2007, 07:36 PM

This guy, or girl should I say, was found when I first put my LR in my tank. As soon as she hit the water she turned belly up and never moved since. I removed her from the tank and took some pictures before disposing of her. I was just wondering what type of crab this is?

I'm going back today for more LR and I'm wondering if I end up with more of these guys in my tank. Although, I guess they won't live through the cycle either way.

Too bad it died. It is indeed an acro crab in the genus Trapezia.
