Facebook forum says zoe eating spider ? it has 8 legs pinchers hard shell,if i have one will i have more ? |
Some type of xanthid crab.
|
Was it eating it or could it have been an acro crab?
|
could be acro crab looks like something is eatng my sps going to dip tomorrow
|
At least three of my acros have resident crabs and they just feed on the mucus.
|
Is it hairy at all? I also see black tips on the claws which means it could potentially be a predatory crab (gorilla/xanthid/stone).
Here's a link: http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/the.../watchout.html It could for sure be an acro crab but if you are seeing actual damage I would bet it was that crab. Observing for other crabs/pests would definitely be a good idea as would a dip. |

Deff a bad acro eating crab! Get rid of him and for the next few weeks shine a flashlight on your acros at night. I noticed these bastards tend to hitch a ride on the bases og maricultured acros. I'd recommend a good dip and cut those bases off when they come with them.

Any lil crab u get with acros that have fur or black claws are bad for acros!! Only smooth shelled crabs with white tipped claws are good
|
Hairy or blue eyes is baaaaaad. Otherwise, should be no problem.
