raising acro crabs.....

[fishieness]

hello everyone. on sunday i bought two large colonies of acros. Both have acro crabs in them. one of them actualy has two. In the one that has two, i have seen one of the crabs obviously fanning eggs. i was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to raise these. would they be similar to pep shrimp? i may just leave them be for direct feedings into my acros, but if anyone has any articles on raising them, i may give it a try a few times.
thanks!

PS: i know crabs are not fish but ive seen other threads on this forum like pep shrimps, so i figure this would be the place to ask.

I can only throw in my VERY LIMITED experience with my Dwarf Blue Hermits - I wasn't set up ideally but more or less it seems that PHYTO was the ticket for intial feeding (I probably threw in Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and T-Iso...I can't find the thread I did on them). Mine didn't last long, but I attribute that more to having to try to rear them in a 0.5 gallon specimen cup!

Good luck!
