Description:

These small crabs are favorite with hobbyists looking for a critter to control hair algae. They are opportunistic feeders like all crabs, so if grazing isn't available they should be target fed to keep them from bothering corals or other tank mates.

Maintaining optimal calcium and trace elements levels are crucial for growth and longevity.
