Acro crab - good or bad

[epleeds]

Just found this little guy prior to feeling a deep water acro. Should I put him Back in the colony or not.

I think I remember a discussion about this somewhat recently with the consensis being that these little guys that live in the acros being harmless. My Dad has one in one of his corals that's never harmed anything, FWIW.

They're not only safe, but beneficial and cool to watch, too.

Make sure to feed it every once in awhile. Our tanks are so clean and free of drifting foods that they can starve if not able to catch anything floating by. I just squirt some food into the coral weekly while feeding the tank. It also feeds the coral.

Good advice - as usual!
