I moved it to my sump to hold for someone that was going to put it in a mantis tank, and then it disappeared, no idea what happened. Anyway, those nocturnal red eyes and pointy-ish claws, coupled with a pile of snail shells, gave me a bad vibe. Here's <a href="http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1292494&highlight=red+and+eyes" rel="nofollow">a thread from Reef Central</a> about it. Lots of speculation, but I agree with those that think it's some sort of Xanthid crab. I completely disagree with the mentioned of Red Mithrax crab, no way! At any rate, I'd probably move it to a sump or give it away. Never figured out exactly what it was.

I'd love to find something like that in my tank. Those eyes are killer. Wow.. I’d love to find something like that in my tank. Those eyes are killer.
