Not a Mantis, But this seems to be a good place to ask...

A "Black Claw Crab" has fallen into my posession. I have him in his own little seperate tank for now. I have been told that it is a zooanthid eater, which is why the previous owner declared it a hitchhiking pest and got it out of his reef. My question is, will it eat anything except zoos (what can I feed it?) how large do they get?

Thanx in advance
Brian

crabs are usually generalist in feeding habits, and there aren't that many that only specialize on zoas. Did you try any of the typical food items? Krill, mysis etc.
