Grouper+Trigger w/arrow crab?

[CBMullen]

Current livestock:
Porcupine Puffer
Coral Beauty
Clown Trigger
White spotted grouper
Gold head sleeper goby
lunar wrasse
domino damsel
tomato clown

question is I have a large arrow crab that is getting a lil big for my nano reef and wondering if it was possible to put him in the bigger aggressive tank. I figured this would be just a very nice snack for most of these guys but just wanted to double check before I decide to return him to the LFS.? thanx

it will be a nie little meal for the lunar, clown and porky puffer

 

[CBMullen]

even if he is much larger than all of the fish I mean his body is probably 1.5" across and his legs are easily 7" I mean he is a big arrow crab

He would most likley be a snack.If you did try it add him at night when the fish are sleeping.

i figured that would be the case, thanks still debating it but leaning towards taking back to LFS since I dont want to just drop him in for food, when he could be beneficial for someone elses tank

 

[ccampbell57]

I would agree with taking him back to the LFS.

I would get some LR for biological filtration.

I would do a trade in with the LFS. Puffers can eat crabs a lot larger than that!

thanx for the info decision has been made to return to LFS.
puffer queen do you have any additional pics of the 1000 shark pond/ I was kicking around ideas like this and just tryin to see what other things have been done so I can plan for the future. wohhhhooooo new project maybe?!

 

[CBMullen]

just came up with one more question
would the livestock i listed in the original post not tolerate goronian/ I know this is a FOWLR but curious if gorgonians have been kept with any success or perhaps GSP or anthelia/xenia?
just trying to add some color and break up the solid rock shapes to be more eye appealing

 

[tank o tang]

I keep cabbage, leathers, xenia, anthellia, GSP, Kenya tree, and I'm sure there are some others in there with my dogface puffer, huma trigger, bird wrasse, and a few other not so aggressives. Although my puffer does have an appetite for shrooms, rics, and zoos.

 

[tank o tang]

Forgot to add that there is also a pencil and long spine urchine as well as a Coral banded shrimp and very large hermit

 

[CBMullen]

good info sounds like some GSP and xenia are in the future anyone else have success with some corals in with these species
