Could I get some input on what kind of crab this guy is and if I should keep him or put him in my sump. He is very light colored, tan or white.......thanks.

The last pic he is on his back.

I watched my Patriots win the superbowl...thanks. I posted this after. I believe you are right CLOAK as to saying stone crab. I did extensive research and never came across stone crab until I checked your link. I have been watching and trying to get a pic unsuccessfully of this guy for a couple weeks and never had a chance to catch him until last night when he was at the front of my tank. Thanks again Cloak!!!
