The Saltwater Arrow Crab is a hardy and long living crab that like to be on rocks and scavenges for food. Supplementing food for them is a good idea. Very enjoyable to watch as they move in odd ways. The Arrow Crab is a fantastic scavengers which are highly sought after for their diet of Bristle Worms and Flat Worms. It is highly recommended that only one be kept per tank and they should only be kept in larger tanks. It is a very unique crab and extremely helpful in the reef by eating bristle worms. It has very long legs that can be up to three times it's body length.

Kelly of Alabama Arrow Crab
This little guy I got was an awesome addition to our tank family. He is quite a character to watch clean himself and scurry around for food! Great addition to any tank just beware of other crabs or shrimp that may fight each other to the death.
