can acro crabs be purchased?

[Chad Vossen]

i see all kinds of acro crabs or hear about them. i know they come as hitch hickers, but can they be purchased seperately? i plan to use tiny frags from local reefers and i dont think i would get any acro crabs as hitch-hickers that way.

if they arent available, then why not?

i dont think they are available mostly because they would be to hard to collect, and as far as i know no one hatches them.

And I dont think they can live for extended periods without the host coral.

In a large system breeding does happen. But catching them is next to impossible.
