I have approx. 3 of these guys that hitchiked on rock from OA...they were in my 72G for 5 mos. and now in my 150 for 1 month...never seen them go after anything but algae and purple coralline. I havent noticed anything else disapearing. I did notice that they have the same claw tips as my Emerald...for scraping.

that is so strange that they come in unnoticed. I just found 1 in my tank tonight. He didn't look like that one he was more grey. He was just hanging out on the edge of star polyps, then i blinked and it was gone.

interceptor
Treat your acros with interceptor and pick up the dead crabs the next day...... i might mention you will also be picking up your shrimps, hermits, and a large population of your pods.

I have had several of those come in with Indo LR. I snagged them with long tongs before lights on in the early morning and threw them into my predetor tank. If they lived great if not something ate well. Now I am after an elusive white crab that is getting quite big and is a professional at hide & seek.
