The Decorator Arrow Crab has mastered the art of disguise while keeping the aquarium floor clean. This crab looks like a cross between a spider crab and an arrow crab. The females are much smaller than the males. The Decorator Arrow Crab is a nocturnal creature and got its name due to the behavior they exhibit. To camouflage themselves, this Arrow Crab produces saliva that acts as glue, then attaches algae, rocks, and coral to themselves like decorations. They are a known predator of bristle (fire) worms. They can become territorial with their own species, so there should only be one to a tank. They can live on small particles of food and fish waste but should have meaty food to supplement their diet. They can 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.
