Arrow Crab

I have an arrow crab in my tank and I need to know if he will kill small fish. I recently bought a Pgymy Angel and see it's remains in the claws of the crab. Don't know if the little Angel died and he got it or what. I know it eats worms and is a scavenger but need more info. Thanks!!

Arrow crabs can and will eat a fish, especially at night, though most fish seem to be able to get away I would not trust them. I can't tell you if your pygmy angel died first or not, because they are very good scavengers as well.

Thanks for your reply. Gosh I hope it didn't eat my little angel but then again maybe it did. I'll learn from this experience for sure. Never realized it would go after a live fish....just figured it ate dead things.
