Hey does anyone keep mole crabs AKA sand bugs, AKA sand fleas, AKA
sand crabs in your tank? or have you seen them at a LFS, they burrow under the sand, and in my tank with the high current they thrive, also when there was a major algae bloom, i popped a bunch in and the water cleared up, i think they somehow filtered out the water (they're filter feeders) so now every other week i go to the beach, grab a small container full and restock because my blue spiny lobster has taken a liking to them! any thoughts or other keepers of these little guys?
if you need pictures here they are
