Decorator crab

[~Reefer~]

Hi just wanted to ask if anyone has or owns a decorator crab and are they likely to steal corals etc?

If they’re light enough and not tacked down I’d say yes. I don’t own one so idk if they’ll frag polyps just for the sake. But my LFS regularly has them. Sometimes they have palys on them BUT the LFS puts palys in with them in an open tank (really just lit by building lights) so that’s intentional.

Hope someone else has some cool anecdotal photos for you

well thats what decorator crabs do...maybe some zoa's all kind stuff. Many different decorator crabs. Even some plain jane crabs will often decorate themselves
