Hi I'm new to the forum.
I'm in week 6 of cycling my first salt water tank a fluval m90.
Knowing I'll soon be ready to add livestock, I have noticed this crab that has sneaked in with my live rock. I've tried to Id it through Google and forums and I cant find anything that looks similar. I'm looking to add corals and invertebrates soon and I don't want to be just giving this guy expensive food.
I'm amazed he's survived the cycle and I did have a slight ammonia spike in the early days.
He's very light shy but moves around allover the tank at night I've never seen him fully out of the rock myself.
I hope this pic is clear enough for someone to I'd it if not I'll dig the slr out.
Best way to describe it is about an inch and a half wide with a white shell with greeny brown dapple effect. It has greeny brown legs and claws.
I thought emerald crab at first but he just doesn't look like any I've seen.
Thanks in advancehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171014/273902f995333e4206b693fad5147b51.jpg
