Acro Crab Question ?
 
I also have an Acro Crab on my blue tip. Will a yellow clown goby still inhabit the acro or will the crab scare it away?

thanx Allan

I've had a couple of acro crabs move considerable distances in the tank to different coral heads (well..like 6 feet...which seems like a lot when you are only 1/2" in size). One has actually moved into a coral that already had one, so they might be a pair.

I have acro crabs and there help your coarls grow. They're like a goby and shrimp.

Wait...a pair? As in...acro crab love? I have two in a birdsnest colony. One is MUCH smaller than the other. I was wondering if they would fight, etc.

I figure that they must be enjoy each other's company because the crabs won't tolerate anything/anyone else coming near their piece of coral.

Here's a picture of the two of them:

Very cool is there different kinds or is it just one species??
What do they eat? it seems to stay where it is.
