arrow crabs

Will an arrow crab hurt snails or a torch coral and eat baby bristol worm s

I picked up an arrow crab to combat my rapidly growing population of bristle worms and he's feasting nicely as I type this. After I got him home it looked like a barnacle was attached to the back side of him, I don't recall ever seeing this before on any arrows. Is it a barnacle ? Will it bother...

Hello, I bought an arrow crab yesterday for bristle worm control and everything seems to be going great. :) I was wondering if anyone had any advice on keeping these guys since this is the first crustacean I have bought for my tank...well besides hermit crabs. Should I feed him anything or are...

Will Arrow Crabs eat Feather Duster Tube Worms?

Let me know if you have one OR suggest a fish that would do a great job eating them (the tank is a 10 gallon) Thanks

I've got sevral bristle worms living in my tank now for the better part of a year. I first noticed them in the LR and now I see them in the sand bed and also in my Veggie Clipsthat I use to feed my purple tang. Most are tiny (<1"), however I've seen a couple that are about 1.5", nothing much...

I have a 200 gallon tank that has been up for over 20 years. For the past year everything I put into it, except fish, dies. Finally yesterday we looked for possible Bristleworms at night. We were shocked. There were, no kidding, thousands. We have ordered a trap, but does anyone have any...

My arrow crab. Pretty sad to see it go. Was a prettyy cool little critter. But anyways. I have a reef tank. So any suggestions as to what i should get next?

Ohkay so i*m new to tanking. I have two clownfish and they seem to have seizure like spasms sometimes. i*ve looked around and figured that those are pretty normal? I also bought an arrow crab. On impulse. :// From what i had read there were reef friendly. Well they eat A LOT., and deeper...

at my local club people are telling me it's a bristle worm..It's not, I know what they are.. could it be a Medusa Worm?..The thing was like 9" long and swimming in the water column last night in a very agitated state....Scared the h-ll out of me..I thought it was an eel or snake the way it was...

Hi Everyone! Its been over a week now since I saw my yellow wrasse so I'm assuming he's a goner. Tomorrow I'm planning to try another fish but what kind? I'm going to go to the store where the owner refused to sell me a fish unless I waited a week and have my water tested first. I have two...

So I was reading about arrow crabs... it says they eat bristleworms. It also said they like meaty food.... so I was wondering if they can be kept with shrimp...or if they would kill them? Anyone have them in their reef tank?

I think I may have Aphipods. There are thousands of them all over my live rock. I havent seen them crawling on anything except the live rock, although for the past couple of days, I've been having problems. Our feather dusters have been acting weird. We bought 3 of them. One of the feather...
