    Dude might be cute, but he might raise some serious hell.

    Strawberry Crab

    [​IMG]
    Strawberry Crab, Liomera sp., is a reef-safe, hardy, colorful cleaner from Hawaii. Growing to a maximum of about one inch, its color ranges from a bright pink to a pastel red. The tips of the claws will characteristically have black tips. In its natural environment, it seeks shelter in the vast expanses of Acropora that exist in the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Tolerant of one another, more than one can be kept in the same aquarium. Typically shy initially, this crab is an effective scavenger that will feed on most any meaty food. Medications containing copper must never be used in the presence of Crabs (or of most hard-shelled crustaceans.) All Crabs require Live Rock or similar aquarium decoration to use for hiding, especially when molting.
