firefishbrain Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I was just wondering who has an arrow, what's their temperment and everything? I don't plan on getting one, but I don't see them too often here and they are so cool looking, so I'm wondering why... crabs usually make the ideal nano habitant cuz they're generally small and like to hide...

firefishbrain Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 well, I wasn't in the market, I was just wondering what they were like, can't say I've seen one in while... Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I kinda like 'em myself - I doubt I could get away with keeping one though - My g/f is an aracnophobe and those things looks like a daddy long legs Link to comment
BustytheSnowMaam Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Arrow crabs are neat- they do look like spiders and are guaranteed to freak out anyone unfamiliar with saltwater. The gross thing about them is they eat bristle worms, and they don't eat the bristleworm quickly- they hold it and eat it alive slowly over the course of a week or so and the worm is writhing in its claws the entire time (if you don't like bristleworms this is entertaining). Mine never bothered anything in the tank besides leftover food and bristleworms. Tasha Link to comment
Monkeyrobb Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I had one for about 8 months. He lived in my nano along with 2 shrimp, a brittle star, and a few fish. I moved him to a 75 and he was great for a few months. I added a CBS and a week later the crab was dead. It didn't appear that he was in a fight. All of his legs were intact. He was big (around 4") so maybe he died of old age. I want to get another because they move so steath around the tank. Robb Link to comment
