Will symbiotic sps coral crabs attack any fish (such as angels butterflys etc) that happens to pick at their host coral or just ignore them. I don't own a coral crab but do have a potters angel and would just like to know for the future.
 
There should be no issue. I have never seen one be fish aggressive.
 
My acro crabs are the biggest babies ever lol. As soon as something gets close they try to get as tight in the coral as they can and hide.
 
They mostly stay in the very center of the acropora. I have never seen one even try and "defend" an acro... rather just hide.
 
Large porcelain crabs will wave their arms but I don't think that will kill any fish :)
