Tired Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Just ordered one of these from KP Aquatics. I was originally planning to put it in a small 'fuge attached to my main tank, but I'm now considering putting it in the main tank. Now, obviously this is a decorator-type crab, which will snip at macroalgae and soft corals. Not a huge deal for me- I can put small frags of zoas up on a frag rack, out of reach, until the frag is large enough to survive losing a couple polyps. Barring that, will these guys hurt anything else? Fish, shrimp, snails? If I put one of these in a tank with xenia, will it wind up transplanting xenia stalks off their island and onto the main rockwork? Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Having now had one in hand, I can say that they eat feather caulerpa, and that they're surprisingly soft to the touch with all the little hairs they attach things to. I don't know anything more about them. Quote Link to comment
