Calico Crab, Anybody Have Or Had One?

[BigDaddyStar]

CANT FIND OUT MUCH ABOUT IT

WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS MUCH ABOUT IT.

HE IS A PRETTY AMAZING LOOKING CRAB, BUT IS HE REEF-SAFE AND WHAT IS HE GOING TO HUNT DOWN IN MY TANK.

 

[EyeReef]

Sharp claws usually = bad
You have any small fish in your tank?

 

[socalaly]

looks like the harlequin shrimps cousin :lol:

 

[Puffalicious]

put a frag of zoas before u put him in ur tank... see if he eats it lmao

 

[yellowslayer13]

NOT REEF SAFE he will eat everything.

 

[BigDaddyStar]

yeah he came from a friends reef tank, he said he had no problems.

I have no small fish yet.

I am pretty sure he is going to be trouble in some way or another.

My wife had to have him so I said what the hey.

Just means I will have to set-up another tank for him...........oh darn...lol

He is really cool looking, but I think he needs to be in a FOWLR.

If anyone knows of some links on this guy let me know. all I can find is he comes from the atlantic and that was off a non-reefer site.

 

[Puffalicious]

just get one of these.... it looks like the crab and it's reef safe

 

[BigDaddyStar]

What is that?

very nice looking, I know I have seen one before

mine keeps hovering over my clam.

making me nervous...............think I am going to sump him for now.
