arrow crabs

[slosurfer]

has anyone had an arrow crab, I've heard theyh may go after small fish. In my tank I have two percula clowns, a yellow watchman goby and a chalk basslet. I also have a bubble tip anemone a cleaner shrimp and a couple peppermint shrimp. Also does anyone know if cowfish are reefsafe?

im not sure if the cow's are reef safe but they need in excess of 150 gal tank when full grown and can grow up tp 16". but they do release a poison when they die which could crash your tank

THE COWFISH CAN ALSO RELEASE POISION IF THE ARE STRESSED OUT!

arrow crabs tend to not be reef safe...they can catch small fish and will eat your clean up crew

I've had one for about 4 months. I love him and he's huge. So far he hasn't botherd anything. I feed him very well though. He takes food from me every night. He can't be eating all my bristle worms because I see lots in there. I will probably have to give him up after awhile though. They get really big and he's already the size of my hand. Now that's his leg span not his main boby. I guess I feed him to well.
