Tell me about your crabs:

1) what kinds do you have?
2) are they in your display tank or sump or other?
3) do you like them and/or do they do any damage? Why/how or why not?
4) gimme some nice photos.

THANKS

The only crabs I have are blue legged hermit crabs, they do a mediocre job of cleaning up lol
They are kept in the display tank
I do like them, even though they don't do the best job at cleaning up algae
I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I can take some over my lunch break :)

I had a Gaudy Clown Crab (zoanthid eater), I liked it very much till it started eating corals other than zoanthids

Are emerald crabs zoanthid eaters??? Do you have pics of that crab you mentioned? :);):(

I used to have acropora crabs both trapezia and bandit crab. They are probably my number one favorite crabs as they are colourful and beneficial for my sps. Sadly I lost all my acropora crab and sps in a move. Heres one of my crabs in a pocillopora.
