SRC Member Brownie Posted June 28, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi ya....just bought a cup coral 3" dia yesterday.....and discovered at home that there are 2 crab-like creature in the centre of the cup. Size is very small ~2mm size If it is indeed crab.... will it harm my cup? Should I get rid of it? sorry no pic as I tried to take some pic with my camera but can't see the creature properly. but 95% it does look like crab. cup never opened...... probably still accustomizing to tank condition any reefers can advise?

SRC Member RX_GAN Posted June 28, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2007 eventually they wun harm ur coral but when they grow bigger, they may post a threat to ur livestocks like small fishes and shrimps. more likely considered so u may wanna remove it first or provide us with more pictures.
