What are your thoughts on Teddy Bear crabs? I bought one today(not knowing what it was) for 5 dollars from someone who was breaking down their tank. I was there to buy other things and just picked this up as an extra. She got it in her tank as a hitch hiker on a piece of live rock. I stopped at a LFS on the way home and asked what it was. I trust the guy as he has never steered me wrong. Anyway, he told me that they grow very big and would eventually start attacking my fish, which I dont want. I asked if he wanted it and he said no but then said he would throw it in one of the tanks. I just looked on SWF and they say that they are reef safe and peaceful. It also says that they are 3/4" This one has a body of about an inch and a half.I'm wondering if maybe its not a Teddy bear or maybe the ones that SWF sells are 3/4". Maybe I should go back and get it? What are your thoughts?
