After discussing the temperament of arrow crabs with the associate at my LFS, I decided to give one a try. They’re pretty cool looking, and the guy at the LFS assured me he would be kind to his tankmates, which includes the following
Blue damsel
Yellow damsel
Tomato Clown
Feather duster
Hermits
Serpent star
Snails
Now I’m doing what I normally do before making any livestock purchases (check out the forums and research online) and I'm getting the impression that this little bugger may not be such a good idea. Although I've seen him do nothing but pick at my LR and generally perform cleaning duties, I'm nervous. I want everything in my tank to be as docile as possible. I plan on adding a few corals and a cleaner shrimp in a few months.
Take him back?
Give him a chance to prove his worthiness?
Anyone with Arrow crab experience?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
