I had a ruby mithrax crab named Mr. Krabs, lol! He was really evil though, maybe I should have named him Plankton.
I'll see if I can find a picture. He unalived my harlequin serpent star and kept snapping at fish, so he was evicted, along with my hermits. I love crabs too but they have been menaces in my tank!
He is really cool! Is he considered one of those "decorator crabs"? He's apparently trying to camoflauge himself as an urchin, haha.Here is my one and only crab, an orange sponge crab ‘marcocoeloma trispinosum’ he lives in my nano with a painted frogfish (check out my build thread to see more of him) he has been pretty good with leaving corals alone apart from the Kenya tree which he has torn apart and put on his back. His name is Sid btw.
yeah they are usually sold as Decorator or Sponge crabs, but these are closer related to pitho crabs than they are to Spider decorator crabs.
pitho crab!! have you experienced them bothering corals at all?
Nice looking crab!
One of my Paguritta crabs.
No. I've had 3 pithos. Two died for unknown causes. This third one seems to be fine but doesn't do much. Not much algae for her to work on, so I feed her a cut square of nori every day. I've only ever seen her bothering my pink nepthea, but I don't know if she was picking at the coral or just trying to climb up a bit.
