acro crab

[brandon0350]

i just got a small colony of an unkown acro and it had a crab in it. its about 1/2" white colored with black eyes and two red pinchers, one is quite a bit bigger than the other. whe i first got it there was fair polyp extension and now there is hardly any day or night. all my other acros are fine. good growth, polyp extension is great, and nice coloring so i know its not from my tank or my fish. do i have a bad crab that needs to go? or is something else causing the lack of polyp extension. thanks brandon

as long as hes not the furry type...your fine then....
give the arco some time to adjust to your tank....the polyps will come back out.

Racenrich is right - blue eyes and hairy - get 'em out. Some people like them and some people don't. If your acro does well with it in there, keep it. If it looks stressed by it, pull it out.
