Acropora crab questions

[JMLewis]

Im looking at getting a couple for a softball size colony of blue milliepora ive grown from a 1" frag and for a pink birdsnest colony about the same size.

Will any acro crab host any sps colony or are there specific crabs for different types/colors of acros?

I was looking into getting a couple from live aquaria but there random colors etc.

if you have a concern and have a choice, I'd stick to the common acropora crab, the ones with the black stripe across their face

none of my acro crabs host in my blue milli and I have about 9 crabs and two were fighting over the soli next to the milli yesterday.

My acro crabs move around from piece to piece.

I just bought a Acropora Plana and it has 2 crabs in it. They are pink with black lines on there faces. Awsome to watch.

I miss my acro crabs they where cool. A LFS was getting a lot of maricultured sps and they would almost always have acro crabs in them. Sadly mine died when I treated for red bugs a while back.
