Clark Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Here are the two stowaways. Does anyone know what they are? The coral branches are raw where they were hiding. I have the coral in a side dish for now. Is there anything I should do to it before returning it to the main tank? Thanks Clark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 The water temp was changing too much in the bowl so I've moved the coral back to the main tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 One is for sure an acro crab and is beneficial. The other I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks. I wonder why the coral was rubbed white where they tended to roost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 +1 Acropora Crab and a nice one too! Some people don't like them because they say that it affects the polyp extension and sometimes the crab can wear down the flesh in it's favorite roosting spot. This only happens in Acropora species and not in Pocillopora species. I'm not sure what the shrimp is. I think it looks exactly like a Skunk Pistol Shrimp, but that shouldn't be up in the corals.
