crab has been known to attack crustaceans , and may even attack small slow moving fish. All crabs are opportunistic feeders and if insufficient food is present they may pick at mushrooms or polyps searching for food. It will eat almost all meaty, flake and tablet foods.

Bump.
Technically they are reef safe, be careful though. Personally I wouldn't add one

If you want a bottom cleaner, get a Bristle worm. Serpent & brittle starfish would also keep your substrate clean.

Don't need to get Bristle since I have quite a few and reason being looking for Arrow crab. I should probably create trap instead of an Arrow crab.
