Arrow Crab (Stenorgynchus seticornis)
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Arrow Crab is a nocturnal creature that has eight spider-like legs. These legs can be more than three times the length of their carapace (body). The females are dramatically smaller than the males. They can live on small particles of food and fish waste but should be fed meaty food to supplement their diet. As an extra added bonus, these are a known predator of bristle (fire) worms, and thus are popular amongst hobbyists who don't want these worms. They should only be one to a tank because they can become territorial with their own species. They have been known to prey on feather dusters and some corals, especially when they get hungry, so use caution if adding to a reef aquarium. Ensuring they have enough food will help to prevent them from picking on other desired inverts.
- - Add to an aquarium with ample rockwork for grazing/hiding
- - For continued health, supplement with marine algae and small marine meaty foods
- - Drip acclimation is recommended
- - Beginner hobbyist
- - One per aquarium
- - Sensitive to water parameter changes
- - Reef safe with caution

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
