Keeping Arrow Crab

[steve2]

Yesturday I bought an arrow crab, seems to be doing fine. I have it in my 20 reef. Are they easy to keep? And are they reef safe?

Thanks Steve

I've got one in my reef tank. They are fairly reef safe, but they do have a little bit of "attitude problem" =)

Mine will sometimes walk right up into my LT plate and steel food from his mouth. My solution was to feed the crab first.

arrow crab is not 100% reef safe..........
lots reefers complained that arrow crabs pick on or nip on corals.........not every single crab does that..so....keep an eye on yours..

good luck

Mine seems pretty good, yeah they do sorta have an attitude problem. But mine isn't that bad. It usually stays up by the filter eating algae. Warning: they can get very very big.
