Need help please..... I've been waiting forever for my porcelain crabs, now they're on their way and my QT tank is all outta whack. Since I have to redo my QT, I don't have a place for the crabs except the DT.
What is the risk of putting them in the DT? Is there anything I can do to limit risks? I have no idea what kinda junk they can carry.
Thank you!

Pretty sure they can carry anything that a fish or coral can carry. What's the issue with the QT? Any chance of doing a water change and adding some LR from your DT to keep it stable?

Why don't you start a jar for them? You just need some of your existing substrate, a heater, and some type of airstone. It will also be easier to keep your food source in the water column for them.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
