jaykay Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Yo, I had a crab very similar to what your describing in my white xenia. It gutted the stem, and left it to float around in the tank. I say get rid of it, or atleast keep a close eye on the xenia. Link to comment
brianemone Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 hmmm sounds about right for the second one, thanks for that Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Probably a porcelain crab. They eat LPS and softies. Despite them living in and around anemones. Link to comment
The Empiricyst Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Porcelain crabs are great. If it waves out these little "feathers" from its mouth, that's probably what it is and you oughtta keep it. Link to comment
