It is larger than a silver dollar and is maroon in color. I am missing two fish and my bubble tip has not been doing well. I did not put this crab in my tank it must have hitchhiked from live rock 6 months ago

It must have hitch hiked on live rock I bought 6 months ago. I have not put anything from galveston in the tank.

Hi, doubletap.
Yep, stone crab. Vicious creature, get it out asap. Put it in the freezer and then the trash.

Good luck,
Steve

It's gone. I guess I should have know when everything starting looking unhealthy and 1 missing fish dissapeared. Thanks for the help and identification.
