Arrow Crabs, Man. Kinda Scary.

[DoINeedAName?]

My arrow crab has become very protective over my Condy Nem. Earlier, while the Nem was busy being curled up and using the bathroom, a red leg hermit crab came over and got a little too frisky with trying to eat prices off the Nem. Arrow crab didn’t like this, so he grabbed the rim of the hermits shell with one claw, pushed the crab over, and used his other claw to grab the actual crab and pull it out of the shell. He then proceeded to kill the crab, rip the back of it open, and eat every single piece of meat inside the crab.

I always wanted one of them. I was just never sure where to put it.

They are good in semi-agressive tanks, but not for smaller and more docile tanks

Pretty sure one would just be food in my tanks or sump even.
I have a trigger, 2 eels and 3 large crabs.
