[slothy]

well any lil pieces of red slime i have, its now on him/her lol.. and my other dec crab, is stick rocks on his back lol

 

[danrw84]

the decorator crabs tear stuff off? or did he take down your entire rock?
do they make a mess?
so if i bet a dec crab its possilbe he will pull some stuff off some rocks and walk around like that?
lol

 

[robchuck]

You could let him roam the neigborhood and sell frags door to door. Decorator Crabs are the coolest!

 

[blondenaso1]

ummmmm.....cool if you don't mind your corals being torren apart I think I like my corals where I put them

 

[slothy]

ya he fragged them for me did a nice job though

 

[wrassecal]

slothy that is so cool. I want a decorator crab but aren't you a little worried that it will hurt your corals?

 

[hairtrigger]

Holy junk. How much can that freakshow pile on his back?
When he chops your corals, does he damage them badly or do they shrug it off?
Does he stay away from the delicate stuff, or is he an equal opportunity fragger?

 

[danrw84]

yeah, does he knock them over and change things around?
very neat
but i found this reading up on them
It is nocturnal, hunting at night. It is not reef compatible, eating some invertebrates. It may be harmful, as well, as it harvests algae, soft corals, and invertebrates to adorn its shell.
