acro crab ( blue eyes)

[A.T.T.R]

i found an acro crab with blue eyes in one of my corals
the only danmage to the coral is at teh base where it gets no light



think i should remove this guy

i have heard both that they can hurt the coral but also that they can help the coral by removing paracites?


should eh stay or should he go or sould i leave him to assist with paracites till i am compleatly done adding coral

From my experience any of the so called hairy blue eyed acro crabs are bad. The good ones are smooth and can be colored white to red,or spotted
