Daverman Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I purchased two of these crabs from LFS. I've been trying to find info on these crabs, but no success so far. The only thing I know about these crabs is that ther're called "Red Fiddler Crab" (How obvious!) Can anyone give me the scientific name of this crab? I don't even know how big they get.

zizmans Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I'm too drunk to figure it out, but I shy away from crabs in generall. Just me, If you do a search for "crab" you will find out want you want, Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Fiddler crabs and reefs dont mix! The will eat your polyps and certain corals. They get to be about 2-3 inches across their back. Link to comment
Bucket o Chum Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Fiddlers will also try to climb out of a tank if there is alot of rock near the waters surface. Link to comment
sjpresley Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Genus = Uca Fiddlers have a problem with dying if they can't get out of the water from time to time. Link to comment
