johnmaloney Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 These guys are members of the Epialtidae family, they are algae eating crabs that rely on camouflage and slow movement to remain out of sight of predators. Acanthonyx sp. Epialtus sp. 4 2 Quote Link to comment
LazyFish Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I like the blue one how big these get would be nice in a pico with just the crabs. If they are small enough it could be an alternative to sexy shrimp of you wanted something difrent. 1 Quote Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I have never seen either larger than the ones pictured, I think both are mature adults. They are slow and kind of boring to watch really, maybe an interesting clean up crew member. 1 Quote Link to comment

johnmaloney Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 What do you think of a snail race for the clown crab? Too random a winner? Maybe.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe.... paint and number the shells of some nass snails... put them in a long box/tank and some stinky food at the end..... 1 Quote Link to comment
