No problem Yao. They clean and eat the red bugs that crawl on acros.

A lot of those aquacultured acros are coming in with symbiont crabs these days. I've gotten two bandit crabs lately. They are white with a dark mustache or smilie across the front of their face and are very flat and hide quite well inside the branches. I never actually see them eat anything, but I do see them hold their arms out now and then as if catching passing particles of food. I've never target fed them, but I'm thinking of trying a few things to see if they'll take any.

I thought you said they were small, how are you going to feed them a whole store?
Also you might not want to target feed it with a skewer, hate for something to knock your arm fatally hurting the fellow.
