Acro Crab ID
Anybody have any idea if these guys are good or bad? Found them both in a Millepora I have and its hard to tell if they are eating the polyps or just cleaning the coral. I think they might be a breeding pair as one seems to be carrying eggs.

smooth shell with flat pincers and slanted eyes are safe for acros....Which look like the ones you pictured!
brown hairy legs with cuddly blue eyes eat acros smash them with a chopstick,dentalpick or whatever you can use and always take the colony out of the tank to remove them as they can dissapear fast! |
Yes...good acro crabs. I have many and wish I had more of them.

trapezia sp. AKA Acrocrab. My corals with them seem to be the happiest.
|
Good crab. Back to the colony with them.:biggrin:
|
Thanks guys! I knew the brown fuzzy ones were no good, I've removed a couple of them before but wasn't sure on these ones. Back to the colony they go.
