Observe and make your own decision. The concept of "good" and "bad" is entirely up to you.

added a couple of small zoo frags but dipped them before they went in and they were to small to have something that big on it. It is about 3/4 an inch big. Has the coloring of a porcelin crab but has heavy duty claws like a stone crab. Just wondering if I should fish him out and place him in the fuge.

He must have been on the frags as I have never seen anything like him before....get a better picture.....if he did come from the gulf, he is something not seen before!...you may have a new specie!

Nah, I'm pretty certain you have to cook crabs before eating them, don't you?
