I found this crab in the middle of my new pink birdsnest. I think it is eating it as it has some missing flesh (can see bar skeleton) but I'm not sure if its from him...good or bad ... ?:worried2:

may be an Acro Crab....which awesome to have bc they clean up algae and dead tissue.....they never hurt the colorful live tissue.

But..... Need to see a pic.

Or you go google "acro crab" and look at googke images. If an Acros crab....KEEP IT!

Pretty sure that's an acro crab. Keep him in the birdnest. Its his home and he'll keep the birdnest clean and healthy.

People actually buy these crabs to seed them in their Acro colonies bc they keep SPS delicate tissues very healthy

Your crab is missing the black pincher's associated with Gorilla crabs. Plus gorilla's normally hide in the rocks
