    hitchhiker crab

    It is nocturnal, about a cm across looks like a emerald but solid cream color. No visible eyes. hides in between my zoo polyps. when lights come on tries to bury himself in the polyps or moves under a very dark rock. anyone seen or heard of this?

    It definitely sounds like a crab. Do you have a pic?

    Hmmm... now that the tank is full, I could convert the pool to saltwater...

    It's always a good idea to remove unidentified crabs until you know exactly what your dealing with.
