Arrow crab with pipefish?

[Theulli]

I can’t find any answer as to whether or not I would regret trying this. Definitely doing pipefish but the LFS has an arrow crab in and it looks awesome

thanks!

Arrow crabs are generally peaceful and are great bristleworm eaters and control. The males are larger than the females. The Arrow Crab's crawls quickly with the help of these long legs, using that advantage to attack small slower moving fish in the aquarium. It is known to feed on bristle worms as well as feather dusters. t is known to attack crustaceans such as Banded Coral Shrimp, and slow moving fish, therefore this crab should be combined with selected species only. The Arrow Crab should be kept singly and should not be kept with similar species, since it may turn aggressive towards other inhabitants.

I had both in my 20g long before my pincushion urchin killed the arrow crab while it was moulting. I never saw the crab go after him and the pipefish is doing good he moves faster than you might think. People say pipefish are slow and need low flow but mine goes all over the tank and is able to get away from other fish and CUC.

I have always had pipefish and arrow crabs. I now have bluestripe pipefish, a Janss pipefish and an arrow crab. I have never had any problems and I am talking decades.
