Arrow Crab vs. Hermit Crab

i dont have either (my tank isnt even up yet) but crabs are opportunistic predators, meaning that they will kill most anything if the circumstances are right. ive even heard of arrow crabs snatching up fish and killing them

My personal note is to avoid arrow crabs. They are ridiculously predatory and just about every time I walk into my LFS I see one eating a fish it had just caught for dinner. Of course, this can be avoided by making sure it routinely has enough to eat on its own, but even under this circumstance, they seem more unfulfilled than most of their clawed counterparts. I really would avoid them.
