Dee Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I found this little creature attached to my Goniopora shortly after I put it in my tank. I had no clue what this fuzzy thing was and it was only the size of the tip of my finger. Later I was surfing and found a photo of a Teddy Bear Crab. I assume that's what it is. I hadn't seen him in a long time since I plucked him from the coral. Last night after the lights went out, there he was messing with it. It did look like he took a piece of the coral from it's hole and took off with it to eat. He's now about the size of a quarter...pretty neat looking. Does anyone know anything about them? I don't think he's leaving the tank...he's fast and blends in. I probably won't see him for months again. Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I know they can be destructive. And that does look like the pics I have seen of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
