Hello!
I have a questionnnn, My poor swimmy got attacked by some nasty crabs who i have been chasing for the afternoon after discovering his poor little body... the crabs were sitting on him but scattered when they saw me.
I have found 2 hiding in my live rock and was wondering if i was to stick them in a tank with fresh water for a night or two if it would hurt the other creatures in the rock/hurt the rock itself? I know there is a brittle star who has taken a liking to that particular rock and i don't want to kill him but if he has to be a casuality in order to rid myself of the crabs i'll do it!
i had hear freshwater will drive them out as well as other nasties that live in the rock?
is this true? If so i will be using my good water so as to not harm the rock too much more and hopefully get those crabs OUT!
