    Greetings one and all !
    I must confirm that it is fact that an Arrow Crab will EAT CORAL...or at least the colt....It has been snipping at it until it is now a mere stump...but I have many frags established(for trade at LFS) and alot of them just growing on the rocks...so no real loss.
    Just wanted to share...anyone with similar experiance with the ARROW Crab...good or bad.
    BTW
    At the airport...leaving to Vegas!! Me and the wife..50th birthday for her.
    Be there for a week!!
    Later folks !
    VEGAS BABY!!;D

    They eat hermits too...
    Got rid of mine real fast. Although it was one of the coolest creatures in the trade.

    Yeah, I caught him red handed pulling a blue leg out of his shell.

    I still lose an occasional hermit.. I'm not sure how long they live but every couple few weeks I find a dead hermit. Could it be the Emerald crab eats them? A guy in the LFS said that larger hermits will eat smaller hermits.
