Der ABT December 19, 2009 Share December 19, 2009 Well picked up two new pieces from F&F, went to dip them and was inspecting them prior to doing this, noticed 3 little crabs on em, took em off prior to the dip and then when i got them back in the QT they went right back to the same corals, hilarious little guys, here is the best pics i can get for ya still in the bag and their homes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you actually buy acro crabs somewhere? I love the little things. Except the fuzzy blue-eyed devil-crabs... bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary December 19, 2009 Share December 19, 2009 I've seen them there as well, but they seem to be a little big to be what I think of as acro crabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same kind i have in my acro colony now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mammoth December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 I agree. I have at least 3 of them in my tank. Actually, I had one on one coral that RTN'd and it found its way on to another coral. They crack me up. I was excited to see that I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get some better pics soon specially when they go in the display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droyal1110 December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 I got my acro and acro crab from F&F too! I had no idea such a thing existed until I was dipping my acro and I saw him fall off. I scrambled to throw him in the tank and the next day he was back in the same acro, doing well to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 I have been seeing them the past few weeks in the Diver's Den section of LiveAquaria http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/CatDi...&page_num=2 I am struggling with whether I'm disappointed or happy about this. I, too, have seen them on there and wondered the whole time why they are pulling them out of their colonies. On the one hand, I am guessing that they remove them before their QT process in which I hope they are dipping the corals, but on the other hand, I wish they would put them back afterwards as there's obviously a symbiotic relationship going on here. As far as buying one, I don't know if they are interchangeable or not, anyone know? Oh, and I have gotten crabs from F&F, too (ugh, that sounds awful).
