Hey,
Anyone know of a page which illustrates the various good and bad acro crabs that exist? I had a very small little white crab that looked almost like he had on black sunglasses...a black band across where his eyes are. I think I saw that called a Bandit Crab, and he is supposed to be good. He was on an acro that died, and then I figured he was dead as well, but I just today saw him on another acro. Now, this one already had two larger light brown crabs on it, with little "eye spots" on each leg. I don't know if they're really eye spots, but that's what they look like. I had assumed these guys were also good, but this coral is very green with a decent amount of polyp extension...except the middle of the main branch, where they hang out...its almost smooth and more brownish. Is this a symptom of bad crabs?
I also have a smaller purple acro that I've noticed losing some color, and I just now found a small dark colored crab with white or light blue eyes, and I think he's got furry legs (haven't been able to get a really good look). From what I've read, this one is probably bad...but other than the loss of color on a couple branches, I don't see anything else.
Anyone have the definitive resource on good and bad acro crabs?
Thanks,
jds
