Crabs Are Good Society

Post on how you think crabs are good and you'll get the emblem

While I'm not a fan of most crabs in a reef system, I can say some crabs are good. Some of the hermit crabs are good in a reef tank. Other species are good in a live rock tank. Arrowhead crabs can be good here as they are interesting to watch.

I also think some crabs are good to eat, especially blue crabs, king crabs and Dungeness Crabws (grin)

You can't beat Blue Crab lump meat and Snow Crabs dipped in butter are good. Can I get the emblem?

 

[Lisa B]

Sure don't eat blue legs though

 

[Lisa B]

Eat crabs that are cooked not in a reef system

Lisa B I'll go half way with You here, I love my blue leg hermits , they don't cause any probs that I can tell. I even had a tiny porcelain crab ( had to lookup the spelling ) very cool.I don't know where it came from or where it went. Now I recently picked up 2 hermits with black and white legs. I witnessed one assaulting a snail. It was quickly judged & sentenced to life in the refugium. The other one ended up in there to just because!

My best friend and longest survivor is a crab.

I like my red/blue leg hermit crabs so far. I like my emerald crab too, although he has knocked my zoanthid(sp) off my spot for it on my live rock twice now.
And yeah, crab cakes, crab soup, need I say more? lol.

Coral crabs are great! I have a Trapezia crab living in my stylo/pocillipora and I have a Tetralia crab living in my acro.
