I have had this guy in my tank since November 2006.
He has grown leaps and bounds! I have never seen him eat anything!
No inverts have been harmed yet.
He is 2.5" across! His claws are as thick as 2 pencils!!!
what do you guys think?

I believe he is even bigger than I suspected!!! In these pics he is toying with a 3.5" clam shell!

Awesome crab. I have a black one that I haven't been able to identify, but it is growing.
 
Neat I would throw him in my refugium anyday. LOL!

yup its definitely a stone crab. i get them all the time..they are great additions but just be careful they can move mountains. but i love to keep their molts too....i currently have 4 in my tanks...all under 3 inches... i usually only see my larger one at night when cut the lights on just to see whats out... other than that, they usually hide in the rocks
