Arrow Crab and Cleaner Shrimp?

[NaturesPalette]

Are they ok together as long as they are well fed, or is this combo a big no no?

Unless you have a reason to buy one (like zoa spiders), I would just stay away from arrow crabs.

[NaturesPalette]

Why??

[spsick]

they're terrible carnivores. will go after fish, coral, etc. perhaps if well fed they will not, but I wouldn't want to be the one to test that theory.

I'd agree. most crabs are horribly opportunistic, with emeralds being about the only one I ever really would put in a reef.

oh. :-(

I couldn't have described them better, nice.

crabs are evil society

[flyingclay]

[spsick]

they're fine in any situation, and cute :)

If you are just looking for an ornamental crab, pom pom crabs are nice too. they do hide a lot though.
