Decorator crab vote

exactly what i would do. since its a 75 gallon the fish could et away very easy if spooked.

 

No. I don't like anything that un-does my careful placement of corals. I already have hermits that knock small frags down every now and again on accident. I personally would not want to purposely put anything in the tank that I know will move/tear apart my corals as part of its daily activities.

But, judging by your threads, you really want one and we probably aren't going to change your mind about it. I can tell you that you won't be able to "take it out if it attacks" so easily. Decorator crabs are a little too large to fit in the coke bottle trap that people use to catch smaller inverts, so you might have to look for another solution. Let us know how it turns out though.

 

oh i read they will only take a small piece then they wont take anything from that anemone/coral/tunicate/sponge (you get the idea) again as long as its on their backs
it supposed to help the things spread around the tank

 

ok im gonna say this one more time.... GO FOR IT!!!!!!!

 

the fact that you have to ask this question should tell you not to add it.Why would you take the risk?

 

I was just seeing if anyone had them peacefully
IMA GO FOR ITTTTTTTTT

 

Not trying to be mean, but thats pretty stupid lol, if you know they have problems, your really worth risking the stuff in your tank and in teh case you have to take it out all the stress on everythiing in the tank? Just seems pointless to me!

 

huh well what about the refugium thing I was talking about at the beginning

 

I would at least try it that way, no way would i ever take a chance by just putting something in the tank which could cause major destruction! trust me you will regret throwing it in....

 

you and gexx should have a discussion
It would be interesting for us all
