My cheating acro crab!
I was just now looking in the tank with a flashlight and I couldn't believe what I saw. My acro crab was out cheating on it's host birdsnest coral. What is this world coming to? Even crabs are cheating now?
Anyway, is it common for a crab to just decide to move one day? What's weird is that the birdsnest is a colony but the green pocipora he moved to is just a frag. Is it possible that the birdsnest is just getting too crowded for him? Here is a picture of him "cheating in action". Sorry about the quality, best I could do with just a flash and no light to focus. He is just hanging onto a green pocipora frag.  Here he was before, when he could still show himself in public....before he was tempted by that "sl*t" pocipora.

He'll return to your bird's nest if he finds there is not enough protection at the frag. He just got bored and decided to take a trip. Happens all the time to mine as well.

Same here I always find them swapping colonies.Sometimes there will be a few in one colony.

I have one large Acropora crab which goes through several colonies throughout the tank, including a P. eydouxi, S. hystrix, and A. tenuis. It's quite common, esspecially for dominant crabs.
