    Picked up my first Acro today and it had a small white crab with a black band over his eyes. So I put the crab in a container and have been searching all night for a picture of an acro crab to see whether or not he is reef-safe. I couldn't find anything until just a minute ago. I found out that he was a bandit acro crab and was good. I went to put him in the acro and he was already dead from being seperated from the acro for around 2 hours. I hate knowing I killed an innocent crab. Does anyone have good pictures of all reef-safe acro crabs or know of a website with pics? I want to know so that next time I pick up an acro with a crab I can say yes or no and either remove him or put him in the tank.


    Thanks

    Not aware of any resources but that is truly a bummer! Better safe than sorry though, eh?
