Crab In Acro!

hello, well i have finally witnessed the horrer that i always suspected...my little acro crab is not a good one...i saw him pulling the poor polyps out and eating them!, how do i get rid of it? thanks

 

Move the acro to bucket full of water and get to work with some tweezers?

 

Bruce, What does the crab look like? this is a pic of an acro crab. .......... John

 

the crab would look like that but hes covered with brown fuzzy hairs

 

i also saw him eating the acros polyps do normal acro crabs do that? and he is growing very fast

 

No they don't and they usually stay small (< 0.5" across) with a white body and a black line across the plane of the eyes giving it a bandit look.
