Krama Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 hi Timtam22 I have heard that although nice, they like to divide, alot, so in the long run it appears easier to take them out while they are only a few/one or two. Wonder what likes to eat them? MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Will they hurt corals?? do they do any harm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krama Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 from what I have heard, no they are fine, they just like to take over the tank. There has been discussion recently about them, you may like to refer to that thread. mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I found that my population of crabs, (from collecting water at rags) eat them, so this keeps their numbers in check. Cheers Ru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
