Acro Crabs

[weimers75]

I keep reading about how acros love their crabs, but none of mine came with any. Anybody know where I can get some acro crabs?

Thanks!

I have no idea what they do or where to get one.

What are the benefits of an acro crab?

I got a couple acro craps from Tropicorium, they came with the frag that I thought I would try (didn't go so well) in my tank. After the frag died I haven't seen the crabs at all. I got the frag and two crabs for $20, that was last winter sometime.

Anyone have any acro crabs they are willing to sell?

just try your luck getting frags. I got a super small acro colony with a crab on it. that thing's so cool =)

I've not heard of anyone getting just an acro crab by itself. You get acro crabs as hitchhikers on acros. Acro crabs will help keep the acro healthy, "grooming" the acro and keeping it clean of debris and such. I don't know if you could get an acro crab and get it to host in a different acro, I wouldn't see why not.

Yeah that might be the case. Not like there's anything in my 5g nano that would be eating crabs. :D
