Zoro Crab good or bad for Acro?
 
I picked up a nice big piece of Acropora coral a three days ago. Its doing fine but I noticed a little Zorro crab living within the Coral. Should I leave it or get ride of the crab?

leave it.....its an acro crab that is beneficial to the coral....they ward off intruders and keep the colony clean.....

If the crab is Harry kill it smooth with slanted eyes keep it!

It's a smooth crab with a black band across it's face... i.e. "Zoro Crab"
