Is there a certain stocking recommendation for acro crabs. Where can you order them as well.

I never intentionally added acro crabs but they came with the coral. You can order them from liveaquaria periodically

When you say you were bad with QT, do you mean you made a mistake in QT, or you didn't QT at all.

Anything that goes into your display tank should be quarantined. LPS may not have pests that affect themselves directly, but the bases that support them can certainly carry eggs of pests of other corals. Live rock can bring in fire worms, destructive crabs or mantis shrimp. Tridacna can bring in parasitic snails. Even snails or conchs can have hydroids or bryozoans on their shells.

I can't believe the amount of time, money and effort people throw away and all the rare life forms they destroy by not quarantining properly. You guys must be made of money.
