I do have some questions though: I assume Crabs are Evil because they eat the inhabitants of (reef in particular?) tanks (OK that's not a question);

correct and correct

and does LFS mean "live fish store"??
|
nope, good geuss though. it means "local fish store"

Another one: fish stores will buy/take tank citizens (the unwanted crabs in this case)? what about disease/contamination?
|
hey thats two, hehehe. yup most stores will take them, but i enjoy killing them and feeding those tasty little treats to my fishes.
for the disease thing, they are better off getting from someone than getting one that still has to travel across the globe before ending up in their tank. better bet getting it from a customer, plus the customer will come back. not all LFS see it that way, but most do.

So if Crabs are Evil, then what are the most desirable tank cleaners?
|
lots of creature out there. the biggest part of the cleaning crews for us crabless kinda people are many various type snails. there are other things like some stars, serpants, sea hairs, cucumbers ect...but snails are the main thing. do research any inverts you get some ok with this or that others not. well i dont know if that was any help but crabs are never something you want to take home
