I bought this coral today, but noticed this crab on it before placing in my tank. Please let me know if it's a good crab or bad crab. non of the ares where he was found was dead and only 1 tip looks like it's got some die off. Thanks in advance!
Might not be bad for acros, but could be bad for other corals in your tank. Once they get big enough they might start chewing on softies, and move stuff around your tank. I wouldn't kill it but take it out and put in fuge.
it's a bad one. i had a few of those come in on different sps, and every sps i left em got chewed up pretty bad. i believe the smooth textured ones are the good ones. at least from my experience.
<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14149175#post14149175 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by swhaley40 I have one in my largest acro colony...no evidence its causing problems. I think this can vary quite a bit.
I have one in a maricultured piece and no issues. In my research I found conflicting info. I see it eating off the acro. But, it almost looks like its eating debris or mucus off of it. No evidence of it adversely affecting my corals.
Thanks everyone for the great info. It's sitting in my intank fuge now pending a new home in my sump fuge to live out it's life. It's kinda cool looking with it's blueish eyes.
I got a whitish pinkish little guy on my new Joe the Coral ORA frag. From what I've read they are good for the coral, may create a tiny (1 mm) dead spot but not usually so...
