Good or bad Acropora Crab?

[carrillowilliam]

]Im having a difficult time deciding if these guys are helping my colony or making it worse. The colony has enhanced in its color but parts of the colony are bleaching(mostly where the crabs stay).


Are these guys bad or good? Thanks for the help!

are we suppose to guess what it looks like ?

at least describe what "these guys" look like ?

Acro crabs = GOOD.

bad crabs = bad.

so have to identify if you have a acro crab, or a bad crab in an acro

If it's hairy it's usually bad, if it's bright pink or purple its a good one.

na put it back, they actually help clean the acro.

the pic isnt 100% clear, so make sure it does not have hairy legs, it doesnt look like it would from here though

This. The acro crab goes for about $14.95 online. I got two in one wild colony I bought. They are harmless and fun to watch. Definitely keep it.
