I knew I had the brown one but didn't know about the light colored one. I THINK that one of them is the reason why a fish won't survive in my tank more than 3-4 days. I am re-doing my BC-14 and that is how I found the second one.

Any ID's on either of them? Any additional info?

They will be hermit food tonight if not deemed safe lol.

the brown ones pinchers look like the pincher's from a emerald crab? algae eaters? but thats all i'm basing it on. probably not safe.

Brown one looks like Gorilla Crab - not reefsafe

not sure about the lighter colored one other than that is the coolest design on it's top shell

The big dark one looks like a mithrax, it has flattened tips on the claws for scraping algae. The Other crab looks like trigger food.
