hi,

 

i think arrow crabs look wicked cool. i have done lots of reading on them and it seems to be split as to weather or not i can have them in my 34 g Red Sea Max.

 

 

i dont plan on doing lots of corals...maybe a frogspawn or tourch coral for my clows but thats it.

 

any thoughts?

 

 

oh...also, how do you feel about coral banded shrimp?

 

thanks everyone!

not the greatest invert for a reef tank, i've even heard that larger arrow crabs sometimes prey on small reef fish like clowns or damsels. Not the greatest of choices, stick with a cleaner or a peppermint. sorry dude

Yep, and they love, love to eat bristleworms, which are a vital part of your cleanup crew. But as far as being reef-safe with corals, I've never seen one go after anything other than bristleworms and fish (when they're really big).
