Watch out for that crab. If it bothers the polyps (not opening in his general vicinity) remove him.

That is a safe crab. The black bad on the eyes identifies it as such.

I trust no crab.

Not a bad policy

Thanks for the responses and advice. Very much appreciated. The crab has lived in an Acro since purchase.
I put the monti in and within an hour he had moved to it. The Monti appears to have been a wild specimen and was not too happy before I puchased. The crab immediately appeared to start cleaning the coral. This was quite evident on the outer edges. Since this there is more and more polyp extension.
Funnily though the crab keeps going back to check its acro.

Thanks again.
