Ok, i thought i could bump an old thread, but i guess i never started one.
So Im re inspired to ID this long term HH.
I did read through many posts, and Chuck's "every crab in the world" link, is what really makes me want to know more, as even going through that, i couldnt find a picture or accurate description.
I think what makes this one unique is the cupped claws, it seems as though this crab may be either feasting on pods and algae picked from rocks and glass.
i have yet to observe any assaults being given either to fish , GSP, leathers, or Nems.
This crab is very quick to hide when anything comes near, and only really comes out in the open at night, or during feedings.
Ive only a few times been able to observe it picking at rock between GSP sections.
It is mostly seen grasping at food floating by, or picking pods off glass.
Any help would be appreciated, Im not concerned that this crab is harmful, and i will not try to remove it, I am curious to know what it is, as it has become a interesting inhabitant.
i noticed it first about a year ago, and it has double in size + molted once since then.
