Worms And Crabs In Lr

[cowgum]

There are some worms n crabs in the LR that I bought. Aare they suppose to be good or bad?? cos i heard from my friend saying that a worm attacked his fishes n caused some to die...

Your friend's worm is most likely a mantis. Do ask him to get rid of that "worm" asap. Bristtleworms are normally found in most LR - they serve more like scavengers for your tank, so you might as well leave it alone. As for the crabs, most people won't want them in their tank, coz when they turn larger in size in the future they tend to shift things around and mess up with your corals decoration.

just my 2 cents...

They're suppose to be good. I think in your friend's case, the fish might have already died and the worm was then scavenging on it, your friend saw and thought it was the murderer. Worms and crabs are suppose to help clean the tank of left over food not eaten by the fish. Small crabs nvm but if big maybe will have problems

Not anymore if you visualize the crab in a dish of curry.
