It was summed thank you! He’s in with a black tipped one that is four sizes bigger. If he came in on your live rock I put into the tank at the end of January, I can’t believe he’s so small. The other one was just a little bigger when I removed it from the DT and has grown huge since.
one of my lfs used to have a chunky gorrilla crab in they're "tank of shame" which was dedicated for random hitchhikers, it was as big as my hand leg to leg
I've had baby porcelain crabs arrive on TBS rock that weren't bigger than the head of a small screw, so always possible it came in very, very small!
wow that would be honestly pretty cool to see a ultra tiny porcelain crab
I got dozens of porcelain crabs that came with TBS rock, they all stay small and you can see their little fans fanning when you look in the cracks and crevices. Unlike the store bought ones they ignore my rfas.
Wait the colorful porcelain crabs eat RFA? I was going to get one of the red and white ones but I have two rock flowers.
No, they take residence on RFAs (or BTAs). Doesn't really bother the nem. They know what they're doing.
RFAs host them.
Ah got it, so they annoy them lol
Sorry I misunderstood, thanks for clearing it up for me
It’s a beneficial symbiotic relationship.
I know it was a joke, apparently not funny
. I meant like how I see my sexy shrimp annoy both the RFA’s and the BTA in my tank (and pretty much all of my corals at some point). But yes I’m aware they serve a purpose cleaning off excess food or possibly cleaning off pests while the anemone serves as protection for the animal.
