Tetralia crab hitch hike on my SPS...........

[piranhapat]

Found this hitch hiker in a new SPS. Tetralia crab. I took him off and out of the tank. I just saw another one in same SPS. All are in Qt tank. Anybody have them and what did you do with it. Very tiny crab. How big do they get" here is a great site about crab hitch hikers.

I had a few hitch hike on some acros in the past. I kept them. They are commensal with acros so they just hang out on them and pick off any debris that may land on the coral. I liked them.

They stayed around the size of a dime or nickel if I remember correctly.

I just found some little sps hitchhikers as well ! One of them I kept and the other met that porcelain bowl in the sky.
Of corse the tiniest fuzzy one with blue eyes was a evil murderer supposedly, a gorilla crab.
The other one, the one that I kept is white, smooth and has a black line across his face. Bandit crab I believe it's called? He's supposed to be good I'm told.
