Crab I.D.

[doug]

Does anyone know what type of crab this is?
Caught this guy snacking on one of my acro's last night, damn near ripped apart half the tank trying to catch him, finally gave up decided to try the bottle trap route.
Setup an empty bottle with a raw shrimp in the bottom and within an hour of the lights going out I had him.

looks like a type of xanthid crab - good idea to remove it from your display

Well I can tell you after watching him rip the tips off two of my $$$ acro's he had an unfortunate accident with the end of a hammer.
