    i just picked up a nice pice of marshall islands blue bottle brush;D;D, and there is a tiny white acro crab in the branches.:-/

    should i get rid of him?
    if it will irritate the coral at all i do not want him.

    would you leave one in your acro tanks?

    normally the white are symbiontic crabs and they do not damage coral.....
