Where's the arrow crab love?

[jonny]

Wife wanted one for years but no go with hawkfish. Starting a new tank so I decided to pick one up for her. Has probably doubled in size in 2 weeks.

What are your guys experiences with them?

I really want one but super nervous about it... my clownfish has paired up and kind of took over the entire tank so yeah... it's not very nice haha it attacks me so bad during feeding that it even jumped out of the tank at me a few days ago... nothing like trying to catch your fish as its falling to the ground -.-

Don't get me started on jerk clownfish lol... My old pair would draw blood. The female jumped out multiple times. We were not friends lol... Luckily this pair seem to be getting along with the arrow.

Mine just started to mess up the sand bed... so I took kenya tree frags and lined them on the sand bed haha then took a 7 inch tall kenya and placed it in his spot where he keeps making a big hole... lets say I havent had any holes in a lil while

Saw some on our fish list today, but from a supplier we weren't going to order from [emoji22]

My dad has attempted to keep them several times, they need a very established sand bed or they starve to death, gl with yours they truly are amazing creatures

Feed meaty prepared foods 2-3x per week and he'll scavenge for the rest of the time. They will eat bristle worms as well as flat worms if they find em

Thanks! I've been feeding him meaty pellets - going to pick up some clams at the Asian market as soon as I'm out that way.
