Stone crab with eggs !

[juanmanuelsanch]

So after catching all 3 stone crabs that I had in my tank, one of them is carrying a sack full of eggs. What should I do? Its on a separate tank atm. But I dont know if its safe to have it in the sump... since it could release the eggs and now I would have a bunch of mini baby stone crabs all over the place.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance for the help !

My opinion, I'd just get rid of all of them. If your set on keeping them, set up a dedicated tank.

Maybe start a stone crab tank. Roll it into a farm. Sell to Red Lobster. Rule world?

I wouldn't worry about it. Those babies crabs hatch into planktonic stage The chance of any of them living is zero. Crabs aren't some alien killer. There just crabs
