This guy is an Arrow
Crab. Originally I bought one because I was tired of all the
bristleworms in my tank, his favorite meal. However, I had a Coral Banded
Shrimp and he killed the Arrow Crab relatively quickly. After many years,
the CBS died, so I got a new Arrow Crab. Mainly I enjoy this creature
because of its delicate structure and blue pinchers, and because it is
not a crab that likes to hide. Some report it will kill fish, but it would
have to be smaller fish if at all. I've never had any negative issues
occur. Reef-safe-ish.
