arrow crab?

[TRe]

ive been looking at these guys for a while and was wondering if they are good or bad in a reef tank... i thought they would eat feather worms but they have them in the tank with their feathers

 

[aresgod]

It would eat your firefish when it gets big enough..and would be eaten by your triggers or porquipine puffer...they really arent reef safe when they get big...and they get big fast.

 

[TRe]

ok thanks... scratch that idea

 

[Sebastiandacrab]

why arent they reef safe what corals will they eat hey and Tre how do you like your gorgonian i love mine its all open right now.

 

[TRe]

its not my favorite thing but it hasnt opened yet maybe thats why...i got it to add a little color

 

[aresgod]

they get large and eat small fish and are destructive...as I said before, many of the things in your tank are incompatible/going to die.

 

[ram man]

usualy reef safe is also implied to not being compatible with fish, my mantis shrimp is said to not be reef safe, but can be kept with corals, just do your self a favor and dont buy one, they get to big and will kill and eat anything they can catch

Unles you've got one of the few entirely photosynthetic gorgonians, expect it to start falling ot pieces in short order. Most of the brightly coloured ones need feeding, and are not straightforward to feed (live zooplankton)
