OTHER: SPS Crabs.
Is there a trustworthy online supplier you use? I had looked at adding pocilopora crabs, but also read that can be hard to differentiate between good or bad crabs. And live aquaria lists acro/poci crabs together but then other sites say they are coral species specific?
OTHER: SPS Crabs.
They protect the corals, they may fight off pests to a degree, they're amazing looking, they don't cause havoc or get big enough to opportunistically eat a small fish.. Lots to like!
I have only had emeralds and hermits, but I enjoy the look of porcelain crabs. I have always wanted one. I'm about done with my hermits though :mad:
That's the first one I looked for. Decent color variety as well. If you have a nice sized colony with compact growth they'll thrive. Cool to see the claws pop out from branches during feeding time. Seem fragile and easily picked off by the wrong wrasse/fish.
OTHER: Acro Crabs (SPS crabs)
Other, Alaskan King crabs....with melted butter.
It's so weird that this thread popped up when it did. I JUST spotted one in my garf bonsai colony. I will try to get a pic when I get home from work, but this is exactly what it looks like:OTHER: Acro Crabs (SPS crabs)
