Arrow crab
Just purchased an arrow crab for my bristol worms. How do I get him out of the plastic bag he came in and into my tank if I don't have a net?

Re: Arrow crab
Just lower the bag down to the rocks and tilt the opening downwards, he should walk right out. That is what I do with all my fish/inverts. Nets tend to be rough on fish and the crab could get caught in the net.

Re: Arrow crab
Why do you want to get rid of your bristleworms??? I just addressed this in another thread.
Read this please: http://www.livingreefs.com/forums/in...rimp-dead.html The arrow crab will kill all the good living fauna in your sandbed, making your tank look dirty and making it more difficult to keep high water quality. Bristleworms are some of the most important cleaners you can have.

Re: Arrow crab
I'm along with Biff and Ryan on this one.
Those arrow crabs do look cool though.
