I bought a table acro a few days ago, put it in the tank and noticed this little guy crawling around in it a few hours later. I didn't think much of it and thought.."hey that's cool, a free crab". Yesterday I noticed some of the acro looked like it had been picked at and eaten off, but I didn't see the crab. I was just randomly looking at my tank and was looking at another acro that has been growing like a weed. I noticed a small white are that looked bleached which wasn't there yesterday. I went to the side of the tank to get a side view of the branch of the coral and there was the crab! I watched him for a minute and he was picking at the acro and eating it! AHHH!
Here is the little homewrecker, I managed to pry his grip from the coral and get him out. I put him in the sump for now where he can't terrorize any more coral. Anyone know what it is? It is slightly smaller than a dime.
