Anyone have any experience with decorator crabs. They're cool looking but will they destroy corals while looking for camo?
 
Ha ha. Stay away fm these critters if u value ur corals. I bought a tiny 1 yesterday that had a couple Zoa's attached. An impulse but so to speak. The LFS couldn't provide any info and my only source was what I could get on mobile web. Not much. Got him home and after properly acclimating him, turned him loose. He went straight for my leather frags and began ripping them apart. Removed him before he could do any major damage. He didn't cost much and the LFS I usually deal with was glad to get him. No charge. Hope he finds a good home with lots of coral. I learned another lesson. Lmao
