New acro colony - Reef-Geeks

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Picked this up, pretty nice and even came with a very cool little acro crab.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Very nice Bill, how much did ya have to give?

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Not very much at all under $30.00, the little crab is the main reason why I got it. Wish I had a better camera.

Kerickson978 · Whats up?

Awesome find man! colonies out here that size are rarely under $100 and if they have a crab well add another $50

blacjack · Big-Geek

Wow,I like it alot. Cool that it came with the crab too.

spinycheek · Insert Custom Title Here

I like it, especially for that cheap!! Like Keith said, a frag here costs $30, a colony is just ridiculous.

chris&barb · Lost

$30 is way cheap for a full colony. I think i can see the crab in there. Is it tan with a brown mask?

ThrillinSTX · Coastal Cowboy

Nice acro, looks a lot like the green one I got yesterday. What sort of crag is in it? Porcillan Crab?

Azurel · Big-Geek

Sweet pick up.....Even better for the price.

ozzie · Reef-Geek

Very nice mate

Cool they are the good kind.

Ive had these

And the ones with red poka dots. Both those are coral safe. These brown one will eat the coral

rgrking · Spawning

Looks just like the 1st one but a little darker. I like the teddy bear crab but have not found any except on line.

ento_reefer · Reef-Geek

great find Bill. I want first dibs on a frag.

Have you ever seen the white acro crabs for sale on their own anywhere? The two colonies I have with these crabs look a good deal better, and grow slightly faster than the others in my tank. I can attribute this to the crabs alone, but I suspect they have much to do with it. I just don't like buying wild colonies if I don't have to, and aquacultured colonies seldom have the crabs in them.

Well looked today and my little crab must be happy cause he molted.

Ive never seen them for sale anywhere. I have seen some info that says they are very good for the coral.
