Hi Jason,
Phew, I was getting a bit worried then! I thought I was going to have to get
my Arrow crab outta my reef tank sharpish like. I added mine at the
beginning of February after being assured by my fish shop that they were
generally reef safe. Mine up to now has been a model citizen. During the day
he/she hangs out in the branches of my large Frogspawn coral and at night
roams around the tank picking at bits of algae and the like. All my corals
have so far been untouched and long may that continue. At least if he/she
becomes a problem it won't be much of a chore to catch him/her. I
occasionally feed my crab using a pair of tongs and at these times could
easily remove the crab as it never wants to let go. As to size, well I
believe they can get quite large (leg tip to leg tip!) but I'm not really
sure.
Regards
Lisa Page
