Arrow Crab giganticus

[Moby]

Hi everyone,
I have an arrow crab in my mini reef and it has molted 3 times and now
is huge - Id say 8-10" in diameter with legs spread out. It is
starting to mess with my other inverts and eating snails. Will he get
bigger? And will he start trying to eat fish?

Yes arrow crabs do cause trouble when they get biger, and
will sometimes eat your fish.

I can act as an eye-witness to that fact. I had to get rid of one due
to the damage he was doing.
