There is a small pink crab i have been trying to track in my NC 12. He came in in a piece of live rock i got when i bought a Xenia. It is hard to get a picture of him becuase he only is really out at night. I saw him today for the first time longer than a second. He has a light pink shell, a smooth body and has two little tny reddish eyes. He is about 3/4 of an inch long at the most and tends to chew on the spngy liverock i have in there and looks like he is enjoying making gravel. He is actually carving out quite the cave. Any ideas?
Also in my NC 24 i have recently noticed a rather larger browninsh crab who also hitched a ride in. He has never come out of the cave i see him in. He looks like a normal crab and doesnt seem to bother anyone. he is a little bigger more like and inch to an inch and a half long. I tought there were two but it was his shell from molting. I think it will be almost impossible to get a shot of him unless he actually comes out and poses for me. Any more ideas?
