I've always wanted to go to my LFS and have them scoop out all of their acro crabs and sell me them

I have always really really liked Acropora Crabs and I never had an issue with them. Cute and cool little bandits. Mine used to move to other pieces and then return to their original coral, I have had them in Pocillopora as well.

They do however need a live acropora to live long term.

Idk I've done it, maybe just dip the acro, they'll fly out, and remove it before it dies?

Never had them, but sure like the little fellas

I know... I buy some larger colonies from a local wholesaler and they aways have bandits. I feel awful dipping them, but I can't get the little buggers out
