silverdust Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm having a hard time finding information on these guys. If anyone has links, I would appreciate them. I have the basic questions: max size, how agressive are they, do they pick at corals or other inverts, and do they usually stay out of sight, or are they generally out in the open. If anyone has one, I would love to hear your experiences. Thank you. Link to comment
linkia lady Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 They are selling them on saltwaterfish.com. There is a little bit of info. on there. Link to comment
mattyice Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 they are great mantis shrimp food, well at least for mine they are, just so you know they are quite aggressive and will eat and kill things to eat, just if you find one go ahead and ship it to me and i will give it a good home with monte Link to comment
varybarry Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yeah I've heard they are quite aggressive as well. They are known for eating other things in your tank, so if you get one be careful or you'll have nothing left in there. Link to comment
wav3form Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think the only crab i'd get on purpose is a pom pom crab ... well those and hermits. Link to comment
varybarry Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What are pom pom crabs? I have never heard of them before? Link to comment
wav3form Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What are pom pom crabs? I have never heard of them before? small crabs that hold little anemones in their claws. i hear they're about as reef safe as you can get in a crab. really cool looking things. Link to comment
nYgel Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 porcelien crabs too, half the price, twice the fun. Link to comment
varybarry Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I just found a picture of the pom pom crabs they're pretty interesting. I'm debating whether to add one or not. Does anyone have a general price range for this type of crab? Link to comment
vike50brian Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I can get them for $10-$15 here in the south. And I recommend one for anybody, although in larger tanks, you may not see them very often. Link to comment
varybarry Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 $10-$15 isn't too bad. I'll probably be purchasing one soon. Link to comment
c est ma Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Do see this thread: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67217 Also, search for the porcelain crab threads. Both crabs are supercool and very safe. --Diane Link to comment
