Just wondering if anyone uses those acro crabs. How beneficial are they? Do they really help acros stay healthier and grow faster?
 
I have couple living in my Acro colonies,they are very cool to watch.I don't think they help with any grow,but they keep the colony clean.

That is my take on them as well. They keep the algae and pests away. Some even consider them a deterrent to red bugs (I do not).
 
I wouldn't mind having 1 or 2, but I can't never seem to find any...I've heard they're beneficial.

They're onsale right now at liveaquaria.com, which is why I'm asking to see if people like having them. You can also probably request them at MCF as they will try to get anything for you.

That's pretty sweet! You don't usually see them for sale!
 
I have two acro crabs, one in each large colony and those colonies are the best looking ones in the tank.... The polyps are HUGE and no other colony in the tank looks as good as these...

So in my experience, they are excellent.
