Ich hatte von dem was ich über diese Krabbe gelesen hatte irgendwie den Eindruck es handele sich um ein räuberisches Monster. Dabei wird sie nur max. 2 cm gross. Da habe ich mir eine "mitgenommen" und siehe da, sie hatte sich bei meinem LPS Korallenstock angesiedelt und die Aufgabe übernommen die Zwischenräume sauber zu halten. Hat bei einer Häutung den Appetit einer Grundel nicht überlebt. Werde ich mir wieder besorgen...

Diese Krabbe ist sehr gut in einem kühleren Aquarium haltbar, einige Tage mit 26° werden gut weggesteckt, im Winter ist das Aquarium meist um die 16-18° kühl. Das Männchen habe ich jetzt schon über zwei Jahre, das Weibchen starb leider bei einer Häutung.
Mittlerweile konnte ich ein junges Weibchen auftreiben. Es ist noch sehr klein, entlässt aber in den nächsten Tagen die Larven.
Diese kleinen Krabben sind sehr unkompliziert. Sie werden mit Mysis, Krill und vor allem kleinen Sandgarnelen gefüttert, dazu gibt's noch Meersalat und andere Algen (frisch zum selbstbedienen).
