does the crab just have hair on its legs if so it could be an emerald crab and they are reef safe and will eat algae and extra food the other one might be a pistol shrimp

it could also be a pistol shrimp... to me they sound the same... i think i have a pistol in my tank... i've seen him digging holes in the tank... and i hear him all the time...

We had a mantis shrimp in our tank and just took out the rock it was hiding in and flushed it out with fresh water..it just jumped straight out. We knew to get it out coz it was smashing our rock. We took him to our Aquarium store and they couldn't believe how huge he was...around 10cms. Lucky we got him out, he smashed one of their tanks..although it was plastic. He's on display on their front counter now. They feed him one fish per day :-0. Scary lil suckers!
