I love em too, but they get caught in the crossfire against AEFW. Tragic but necessary deaths to prevent AEFW from getting in my tank, which are much more negative than Acro Crabs are positive, even though I had a pest who ate polyps, who would have been fought off by the acro crabs. Oh well. I want acro crabs now, but I just want to make sure that they don't carry AEFW on them when I get them...
Oh and I never would have killed them had I known that they were in the coral head when i treated it, as I would have taken them out and quarantined them.
Doesn't matter now, because I saw pics and all acros on the right hand side of my tank are bleached and nuked. Some of the bottoms are doing okay. The funniest though is one Bali Aquaculture colony that I got from someone and rescued. It's so big now that the half that was on the right side bleached out and died, while the left side is still nice and healthy. It'll be interesting to see where it goes...
