Most of them are. Just keep an eye on him

That one looks safe as long as he's not brown and hairy, those are the bad ones

that crab is called a bandit crab. it is an acro crab and is totally safe.

i have another crab that is brown and hairy. i keep an eye on him and he's never harmed anything...not saying he won't in the future. but it is also an acro crab...and i have a feeling it'll be ok.

 

[deepsea43]

thanks guys. There is a better pic of him in my other thread.

I was looking for acro crabs a while back, hard to find unless you're buying sps colonies.

 

[deepsea43]

while were at it. what kind of acro is it?

 

[AquaNerd]

looks like acropora humilis

 

[deepsea43]

is it a good deal for $20? It is 3inches tall and 2 inches wide. I think i got a good deal.

Yeah that sounds like a great deal to me. I'm sure it will color up some too.

I cant wait to see what i looks like in a year or two. There are probably 20 small branches on it.

What is this

Hmm that coral kind of looks like mine and I forgot what the name of mine is.
Brandon do you know?

and too what the heck are those thin green and white looking things growing in my tank? You can see the thin curved thing to the top left next to the zoe's

the algae is a neomeris species.

the coral is different. it kind or reminds me of a yellow scroll coral, but it's hard for me to tell. the growth is weird.
